Yes, this one is nasty. Had it twice - the first time I almost got
caught because I knew that my bank's computer system was down for a
few hours maintenance and it was about the time that my ebay account
was payable. I figured something had gone wrong with the standing
payment. Oddly, the 'update' site looks very professional but the
emails have clumsy syntax - that's why I got suspicious. By the time
ebay shuts them down, they'll have harvested many numbers on a 'hit
and run' basis.
Is there no limit to criminal ingenuity?
Think I'll start a religion.

If you receive anything that looks like the following, DO NOT respond to
it. It does not come from ebay, it is just a scam to get your userid and
password.
