Knowing ebay NEVER askes for personal info we forwarded it to the Trust and Safety dept. The response. Did not come from them and was a "spoof" email attempting to get our personal account info including pay pal account and password etc. They are now looking into it and take this form of fraud very seriously.
If you recieve this email DO NOT ANSWER IT. Foward to ebay Trust and Security.
