i've had an ebay account for a year which i use to buy various items with, my feedback is 100% positive and i've had no hassles with it. Today i received an email from fraud investigation on ebays behalf stating that my account is suspended (with no reason), they request i submit all my bank details over to them including my PIN number!!! I'm not that stupid to do this but i was just wondering if anyone else deals through ebay and has had similar problem.

I doubt thats even from e-bay, Is your account actually suspended?

Sounds like a scam to me too. Just to check though, I'd go to the ebay site directly [not touching any links in the email] and log in to see if anything weird comes up on your account. If anything really is going on with your account, you should be able to find out that way. But ebay does not need you pin number.. hell not even you bank needs your pin number. Nobody should ever ask for that.

Now that I think about it, I remember getting an e-mail from ebay, its strange because I'm not even registered with them. It was just phishing so I deleted it.
