NEW E MAIL SCAM - Be careful ebay users

[Archive]

Posted By: Richard S. Simon

I just got this e mail a few moments ago:

**PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT EMAIL REGARDING YOUR LISTING(S)**

We would like to let you know that we removed your listing:
http;//listings.ebay.com.au/dahlw0QQfrom4QQsacategoryZQsocmdbLis48895676458855 4
because the intellectual property rights owner notified us, under penalty of perjury, that your listing or the item itself infringes their copyright,trademark, or other rights.
We have temporarily suspended activity on your account in order to allow us to investigate this matter further.
If you believe that this action may have been taken in error, or, if you feel that your account may have been tampered with, please contact our Live Help team so that we can provide additional information and work with you to resolve this issue.
We have credited any associated fees to your account.We have also notified the bidders that the listing(s) was removed, and that they are not obligated to complete the transaction.
If you believe your listing was ended in error, or have questions regarding the removal of this listing, please click here or contact the intellectual property rights owner
directly at: Entertainment Software Association

eBay is available to answer questions, but since it is the rights owner that requested the removal of your listing(s), we encourage you to contact them first.
For more information on eBay's cooperation with rights owners through the VeRO Program, and a list of rights owners that have created About Me pages, please visit:

Thank you for your cooperation.

The URL and the Live Help and click here were live links which I am sure led to a bogus page that looked like an ebay page.
I did not even have any items listed on ebay, so nothing could have been removed.
This is a very new scam, so be careful.

I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.
