Just because it leads to ebay doesn't always mean it's ebay.
 
Classic scam. Been kicking around for a few years now. Variations are for online bank accounts. Never, ever, give information on your account back to the organization (or those claiming to be) that request it.

Because NFS4 didn't actually paste the real link - just the one users think they're going to (it autolinks)

After doing a "view source" on the email, here's the actual link:

http://www.ebay-11.com

Definitely a scam once you click on the link.
 
Dear God Almighty! They're getting everything from you. All sorts of stuff that eBay never asks for.

Please forward the e-mail to eBay, and your ISP.
 
Ebay would never say something like that through e-mail. I think at the most they'd say there is something wrong with your account, call us at our toll-free tech support number or something like that. They've told me before that I had a balance and that if it wasn't paid I wouldn't be able to bid/buy.
 
yes i know it might take you to a site that looks like ebay, but can they edit the actuall site http out at the top? cuz ya know thats a dead giveaway. thats what i meant for him to do.
