Warning: fake ebay 'second chance' offers

Folks, I was an underbidder on the System/360 panel that recently went on ebay. This morning I received an obviously fake 'second chance' offer email. The interesting part is that the sender had clearly done some research, as ebay has not exposed your email address for many years, precisely to prevent scams like this. Since my ebay ID is 'corestore_org' it's not too hard to google and find an email address for me; they clearly did so, as the email correctly associated my email address with my account name, exactly as a genuine ebay email would. I don't think anyone here would be taken in by such for an instant, but be warned all the same; someone is being 'active' with scams tailored to our interests. The email claimed to originate from 'ebay at ebay.joe211.info' and sought a reply to 'jrengineer70 at gmail.com'. EDIT a google reveals several other scam emails using this email address. It never struck me before, but of course ebay doesn't even show underbidder *account names* any more; they splash them with asterisks and display them as x******x. Yet the scammer knew my full ebay ID, my correct email address, AND the amount of my underbid. Someone *must* have cracked the ebay database...
