Default Help! Fraudulent email from eBay buyer

Hello everyone, I received some nonsense emails from eBay members claimed that they purchased sth from me, but haven't received the item, but I haven't list anything on ebay in these few weeks, and I check the item# they mentioned in the email, they were all removed by eBay already. I also received another email today from eBay (I'm not sure is it from eBay or is it just a ⊗⊗⊗⊗ email) is about account Suspension, but I logged in to my account today, it's fine, nothing happened. I'm wondering is someone used my info and email to created another acc?? has anyone experienced this before? thanks!

below this what I received from eBay

**PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT EMAIL REGARDING YOUR LISTING(S)**

We would like to let you know that we removed your listing:
https;//listings.ebay.com/dahlw0QQfrom4QQsacategoryZQsocmdbLis1300247565647
because the intellectual property rights owner notified us, under penalty of perjury, that your listing or the item itself infringes their copyright,trademark, or other rights.
We have temporarily suspended activity on your account in order to allow us to investigate this matter further.
If you believe that this action may have been taken in error, or, if you feel that your account may have been tampered with, please contact our Live Help team so that we can provide additional information and work with you to resolve this issue.

We have credited any associated fees to your account. We have also notified the bidders that the listing(s) was removed, and that they are not obligated to complete the transaction.
If you believe your listing was ended in error, or have questions regarding the removal of this listing, please click here or contact the intellectual property rights owner directly at:
Entertainment Software Association eBay is available to answer questions, but since it is the rights owner that requested the removal of your listing(s), we encourage you to contact them first.
For more information on eBay's cooperation with rights owners through the VeRO Program, and a list of rights owners that have created About Me pages, please visit:

I hope you didn't follow any links in those emails and enter your login details.

If you look closely enough you can easily point out that it's a phishing email.

The eby.com as the from address was one big hint.

Scammers do this to get your account, then they use your account to scam sellers out of money. :(

Hopefully you just didn't help a scammer out.

P.S. check the headers from these emails for even more information on who really sent you the emails.

Ha yeah saw that right away.

Time to make a site called eby.com to dethrone the big Ebay

Scratch that - eby.com takes you to bidz website.

I have received e-mails like that to e-mail addresses I have used that had NO activity on eBay too - I remember a few being about some camera purchases, in 2008/early 2009. A big scam - delete it and be on your way.
