Hey. I just got into 5th hour at school and mr cole gave me a print out of a email he got to his school email saying that him or someone else used his ebay account to make fake bids. I went on ebay a few times last week to look at some trucks around my area but didnt really find anything. I never bidded because i nor mr cole have a ebay account. In the email it told me to click on a link to give appropriate info otherwise they will assume the account is fraudulent and will be suspended. I clicked the link but it just sits there and doesnt load.
Here is the email
