Although not Ebay related, I received a new scam letter today....

Before you reactivate your account, all payments have been frozen, and you will not be able to use your account in any way until we have verified your
identity.
Okay, first of all, I don't have a US bank account....
and second I believe if my bank wished to communicate with me they would identify themselves maybe with their name and logo....
What a jerk.... kind of reminds me of the joke of the newfie computer virus.... "You have just received a newfie computer virus. We are not too technologically advanced, so please just erase all of the files from your computer. (no disrespect to the Newfoundlander folk on this board....) only in this case, it would be you have been a victim of a computer email bank fraud. We are not too technologically advance, so please just send us all of your money.....
Jeff
