Anyone else get a message from eBay that their account would be suspended until the "problems were resolved"? I am unaware of any problems with my eBay account...Is this a scam? The message asked for my user ID...Thanks...

I would send it on to ebay if I were you.
I NEVER answer anything from an email anymore(unless it from a friend or customer). In the past I would do the survey emails from ebay - but no more. The scams are getting too good and fool too many.

I got my first one ever the other day. Very convincing except for two things, they misspelled " Account " as " Acount " and they insisted the matter be cleared up within 24 hours by going to the link. I can't ever see ebay insisting on something like that or misspelling common words. I sent it to spoof@ebay and they said it was a fake but it is always a good idea to send it to ebay so they know the volume of these fakes that are out there every day. Every time I see a "I got hacked on ebay!" thread I think the hackee must have fallen for the fake email letters that abound out there.
