Again I say they would never ask you that stuff, you are going to get your information stolen.

Why would they need your pin number. Think about it!

Tryout Counterspy, MS anti spyware and of course what others have said or linked already, I personally like to format, and yes that is the common scam in emails.
You should NEVER be solicited by email with this kind of information from a legitmate company where you did not initiate the contact.

Your browser has probably been hijacked if you get that when typing in ebay.com. Change your passwords from a secure pc and reformat now.

That is one of the oldest scams on the web. EBay and Paypay NEVR will ask you for any information. Just zap that - or - FWD it to SPOOF@EBAY.COM or SPOOF@PAYPAL.COM and they will thank you for it. They then analyze the headers and that can help them track down the "phishers."

Looks like his browser is being hijacked. He says nothing about getting that in an email.

Good points though about forwarding any suspicious emails to SPOOF@EBAY.COM or SPOOF@PAYPAL.COM

Download, updated, and run spybot search and destroy. You want to use both the search and destroy function and the immunize function.

Option 2 if that doesn't work go here http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ and run the virus/spyware scan.

I always like to fill those in with fake information. Imagine the phisher's excitement when he 'catches one'

To be honest, if my browser got hijacked like that I wouldn't feel comfortable again until I reformat.
