    For the second time I have received an email purporting to be from from ebay, warning that someone is fraudulently attempting to use my account for dishonest purposes.</p>

    The first time it was to an email account that has never been used on ebay, and this time to my main account which has only been used to bid occasionally and to buy once.</p>

    Each time they ask for various personal details, which I just ignore.</p>

    This time I pressed the reply button and responded &quot;pull the other one&quot;. Surprise surprise it has not been delivered.</p>

    I would like to contact Ebay, but I can't find how to do this. Does anybody have an email addy I can use to get in touch</p>

    Ta.</p>

    If you go to the eBay home page and scroll down to the very bottom you will see a link for 'safety centre'. Click on this and it allows you to report spoof emails.

    Ignore it

    There are so many of these things doing anything other than clicking delete is a waste of your time.</p>

    These are spam emails - you should NEVER reply to them, if you do this shows that your email address is an active address and opens you up to receiving even more. Just delete them.
    Fortunately my main email address since I moved ISP's has been spam free but that's because I use an hotmail address instead for registering for most things.
