I just got hit with a couple of emails *supposedly* from ebay.
The site it takes you to looks VERY genuine. Be careful ebay users...
Below is a copy of the email...

Dear valued eBay member:

We recently have determined that different computers have signed into your
eBay account, and multiple password failures were present before this
attempts. We now need you to confirm your account information to us. If this
is not completed by June 10, 2005 we will be forced to suspend your account
indefinitely, as it may have been used for fraudulent purposes. We thank you
for your cooperation in this manner.

To confirm your eBay account information click on the link below:

eBay a safe place to trade.
