Ok I just got an email from "ebay". This is basicly what it says:
Dear eBay customer,

My first thought is that its a scam... but it looked real plus if I dont do it I'll loose my account! So i went to the site.... funny its not an ebay site, but its mocked up to look like one!
I give it some thought and then put in my user name and password.
It then fed me some more bull shit and asked me for my email address and then MY FREAKIN EMAIL PASSWORD.. ya its a scam alright. Well I got out of it, but they still have my user name and password so i'll have to change that.
Just a heads up to anyone getting that email.
