OT: Ebay asking for info???
Anyone else get this screen? I tried logging into my ebay account this morning and I got this:
SSN and ATM PIN?? Plus the grammar under "Enter your information" is wrong.

Its not a spam. I went directly to the Ebay main website, clicked on the top right where it says "My Ebay", which brought me to the login screen, I entered my user name and password, and this screen came up. So it is an official Ebay webpage.

Still not legit. Type in the web address nice and fresh in your browser.
No one, especially eBay, should ask you for your social. Red Flag Numero Uno.

"We have noticed an increasing fraudulent activity lately".
Red Glag Dos. This is not even proper grammar. Thieves; clever, but not well-schooled.

This is totally a scam. Ebay has no need whatsoever for our social security numbers. Ebay has the following message:
Report Spoof Email by Forwarding It to spoof@ebay.comRuss - Always on the lookout for Jim Abbott, Team USA and Detroit Tigers GU.

Re: OT: Ebay asking for info???
Why would you give anyone your ATM pin number? What purpose would that serve related to buying and selling items online? Or your SSN? It is defintely a scam don't fall for it.
