I actually got my account suspended. Why? Well, another user in the
domain "uwaterloo.ca" did something bad. uwaterloo.ca is a University domain,
and they restarted my account once I complained about this. Annoying though.
Just like Paypal. They "shoot first" and ask questions later!

These messages usually have link text that looks (or is) legitimate,
but the underlying html reference for the link goes somewhere else.
So, you click the link thinking you're going to be directed to one
place, and you end up somewhere else. Some mail readers will pup up
the link address when you roll your mouse over a link, or even better,
you can "view source" to verify that links really go where they're
supposed to.
Anyway, as Marc said in another post, just forward the whole message
to .

Wow! How did you escape it? Even I have an eBay account and have
bought two things (but sold none) through there.

No - is indeed the correct address to forward these phishing emails to.
