That tactic has been around for a while. 2 years ago I got caught when I got an email asking (actually through ebay) "Is your item like this one?" It had a clickable link and when I opened it, I also got another log-on screen. I thought it is odd since I was already logged on but I filled it out anyway. It went no where. Shortly after that someone logged onto one of my auctions and deleted most of the bids with just under 12 hours left to the auction. He didn't change my password, but I could no longer edit or stop the auction. It was a mess to clean up, but ebay emailed each of the bidders to let them know I was hacked and it wasn't me who did it.

I've gotten messages like that several times - I hadn't been on E-bay in months when I received the first so I didn't fall for it!

It's really a shame that these messages are still popping up going on over two years now. It just shows that people are still falling for it everyday.

Any email you get from Ebay or Paypal will address you by your name not "Dear Ebay/Paypal User" I get these type of emails about every day supposedly from Ebay and Paypal. I just delete them.
