I got one of the original emails, to an address I use only for ebay.
Now that ebay has restricted access to the addresses to those involved
in a sale, I wonder how they got it. Obviously they send these only to
ebay members, so they are getting addresses from there.

After that your account information will be
verifyed and you will be redirected to the eBay home
page. Thank you.

I take it this is not the link they sent you (you wouldn't want to
repost that) because it looks legit.

-Reply in group, but if emailing add 2 more zeros-
-and remove the obvious-

eBay never asks for CC information.
The link is probably redirected, information captured, then redirected
back to eBay. I didn't try it to find out, just deleted it.

I hope you reported it to so that they can take
the spoof site out of business.

Mine was the scam indicated. I check eBay, but another way. In any
event, this item is covered in the eBay security page. Just thought the
NG people should be aware.
