Dear eBay member,
|
We recently
noticed one or more attempts to log in to your eBay account from a
foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account
was used by a third party without your authorization. If you
recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual login
attempts may have been initiated by you.
|
|
The
login attempt was made from:
IP address: 66.161.196.66
ISP Host: 66-161-196-66.slt-crest.chartpipeline.net
|
|
By
now, we used many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information
our users provide us when they register on the Site. However, because
user verification on the Internet is difficult, eBay cannot and does
not confirm each user's purported identity. Thus, we have established
an offline verification system o help you evaluate with who you are
dealing with. The system is called ebay PowerSafe and it's the most
secure eBay wallet so far.
If
you are the rightful holder of the account, click on the link below,
fill the form and then submit as we will verify your identity and
register you to ebay PowerSafe.

|
|
To make eBay.com
the most secure site to place or bid on your auctions,every user will
be registered to PowerSafe.
If you choose to
ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to temporally suspend
your account.

Please do not respond to this e-mail as your reply will not be
received.

eBay Inc.
