This spoof eBay email (see image below) warns that if you do not complete the form provided in the bogus eBay web page (see image below) that the message links to, your acount will be deleted.

The link in the email is disguised using html code to look like a genuine eBay.com link, but it will actually open a forged eBay web form with www.bollweck.com as the address. This page is hosted by 34sp.com and the domain has falsified registrant contact information.

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
