fleaBay Scam caution

From previous posts, I know this has happened to others, but just to advise I received a notice purportedly from fleaBay's "Safe Harbor" advising my account had suspended for undisclosed misbehaviors. I almost replied to it directly (DOH!)- it certainly appeared authentic - before contacting their security. Surprise! Merely a scam to obtain passwords and personal data. Obviously someone either accessed their eml database or has a bot searching out the addresses from some source.

Didn't think it would hurt to reiterate the cautions posted earlier about such schemes: no matter how legitimate a communication may seem, don't reply to it, but go to the source separately.
