When I first signed up for ebay within a couple of hours I got an e.mail that looked like any other "welcome to ebay" mail. This one said there was a problem and that I should re-send my bank/address details within 48hrs or they would presume me to be fraudulent and terminate my account. Considering I had not given any bank details in the 1st place I did reply giving my name and address only, I realised later this could have been a scam, but at that time I had the same attitude as KIPAX, that anyone falling for these sometimes very slick operations was daft and had no savvy, but then again I'm just a mere mortal!
