EBAY fraud alert

I got a note from E-bay (links confirmed) warning about this message, decrying it, and suggesting that I look into their privacy management page for their full particulars. Specifically, their page says they'll never ask for any of this information, and that any such requests *should* be reported to them. Cheers...

Says they periodically verify contact information, and couldn't verify mine, asking me to follow a link to update my account or it would be disabled in 5 days. I followed the link, noticed it wasn't in secure mode, and wondered why EBAY would need my bank account number, routing/ABA numbers, not to mention SSN and home address and credit card numbers, etc. The form asked for everything imaginable. Yikes! Upon getting suspicious I checked the headers and html links in the message - needless to say - NOT ebay. Watch out for this one! I did report it to the spoof team at Ebay. Jay West
