These are two entirely different issues. The first one, about eBay no longer allowing usernames with email addresses in them, which was all plaintext, looks legit. They stopped allowing you to register a new ID using an email address a year ago or more, so this new policy doesn't surprise me much. Again, if you're not sure, go straight to www.ebay.com and use the forgotten password feature.
The second one, which has the "we could not verify your info" garbage filled with HTML, is a well-known scam - one which I've seen in many forms. Ebay has an email address for reporting spoofs. They ask that you forward them (inline) to [EMAIL PROTECTED], at least in theory so that they can investigate the spoofers. http://www.ebay.com/securitycenter/ http://pages.ebay.com/education/spooftutorial/ -- Kelson Vibber SpeedGate Communications, www.speed.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
