I was the victim of Identity Theft
Sorry to hear that. Just a couple days ago I got an e-mail from Ebay (legit) telling me my account was suspended because it had been linked to another suspended user name. Usually when I get e-mails like this, I automatically assume it's a fake e-mail. I know that websites like Paypal and Ebay will never ask you to sign in through a link in an e-mail, so I never do that. However, just to cover my bases, I typed in
www.ebay.com into my browser and signed in, and sure enough, my account was suspended due to "failure to pay seller's fees." First of all, I've never set up a seller's account. Secondly, I haven't logged into Ebay in months. And third, even when I have logged into Ebay, I've only done so at home. I have absolutely no idea how this person could have gained access to my account short of blindly guessing my password. Fortunately, I didn't lose any money over it.
