Message re. Ebay token.. is it a scam/ hoax?

haggisMember

Hi, I have just had an email asking me to re-register for my Ebay Token. I'm suspicious of it because of the address ( below) from which it's been sent and also it's not HTTPS as my usual log-in is. Plus there is no mention of this in Auctiva news. Anyone able to confirm it's genuine or otherwise? Thanks !Here is the address it came from ...

That's most assuredly a hoax e-mail. I recommend never clicking through an e-mail link. I make a practice of only accessing Auctiva, Auctiva Commerce, Ebay, PayPal, etc. only through an URL I have typed or established as a bookmark. If the e-mail info has any validity, it will be referenced on the site as well. As you mentioned, always look for "https://" in the address before you ever type anything involving a password.

I speak from unfortunate experience. 4 years ago I was apparently careless at some point and had one of my Ebay accounts hacked. Fortunately, I suffered no loss, but it certainly made me extra, extra cautious from that point on!

Good catch on your part! Good luck!!

Thanks for your reply CeeJay. I'll definitely be following your advice on accessing Auctiva etc in the future. All the best, Jane
