True message from EBay or is this a Scam?

[glenbankloel]

Is there a scam/false message from Ebay Circulating at the moment? I received a email supposedly from EBay Trust & Safety, telling me that I have committed Copyright Violation, from Karen Millen Fashions Ltd for unauthorised Listing Content. I tried to enter the details in a message to EBay to find out what the listing was and when I entered the reference number as shown in the email, not a valid number, so can't send the query to them. Has anyone else received this or something similar? Is there another way to look up the deleted item, as I have no idea what I have done? thanks

I got one the other day ( different scam ) and the mouse overs actually indicated the real site but the scammer was encouraging the opening of an attachment.

The best giveaway is if they don't address you by name.

I got a real on the other day from PayPal about 'you have qualified for business support' but when I went to my PayPal account ( via my own link ) there was absolutely no mention of it.

Turns out it was real but it took the PayPal site about 5 days to catch up...lol

Never use links in emails or open attachments and you will not be robbed. I would say that 99% of users claiming to be 'hacked' have probably fallen for phishing scams.

Whenever I get an e-mail from eBay or PayPal I don't click the links within the e-mail, just in case its a scam directing me to a scam site. Instead I open my browser and log in myself.
