" We regret to inform you that your eBay account could be suspended if you don't login into your account. If the security issue could not be solved your account will be suspended for a period of 3-4 days, after that it will be again operational. "...

This spoof eBay email (see image below) consists of a bogus eBay web form which requires your name, address, eBay and Email user names and passwords. Once you've supplied this information, you have every chance of losing control of your eBay and email accounts to the fraudsters. Hijacked eBay accounts are frequently used to sell high value items for the scammers to earn money from unsuspecting eBay buyers. The buyers would not, of-course, receive the goods.

Information entered into the form would be processed through a form to mail script at http://mc04.equinox.net which resolves to MacConnect Inc. (an ISP dedicated to MAC users), and is sent to a Yahoo Inc. email address (conturi_2004@yahoo.com).

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.
