**Text Message Alert: eBay Account Scam Awareness**
**What is the eBay account scam?**
The eBay account scam is a type of phishing scam that attempts to steal your eBay login information. Scammers send you a text message that appears to be from eBay, claiming that your account has been suspended or that there is a problem with your order. The message includes a link that you are instructed to click to resolve the issue. However, the link actually leads to a fake eBay website that is designed to steal your login information.
**How can I protect myself from the eBay account scam?**
Here are some tips to protect yourself from the eBay account scam:
* **Never click on links in text messages that you are not expecting.** If you receive a text message from eBay, even if it appears to be from a legitimate email address, do not click on any links in the message. Instead, go directly to eBay's website and log in to your account to check for any messages.
* **Be suspicious of any emails or text messages that ask you to provide your personal information.** eBay will never ask you to provide your password or other personal information in an email or text message. If you receive an email or text message that asks for your personal information, do not respond and delete the message immediately.
* **Keep your eBay account information up to date.** Make sure that your email address and password are current and that you have enabled two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring you to enter a code that is sent to your phone in addition to your password when you log in.
**If you believe that you have been the victim of the eBay account scam, you should immediately change your eBay password and contact eBay customer support.**
