WARNING: eBay spoof

We have previously reported a 'spoof' on Amazon.com (that is, an email message that directs users to what appears to be an Amazon.com site but is in fact a bogus site designed to capture confidential information).

Now it appears there is an eBay spoof going around. A message might read "During our regular update and verification of the accounts, we couIdn't verify your current information. Either your information has changed or it is incomplete", accompanied by a clickable link.

Don't do it! The site will appear to be an eBay site but these are thieves trying to grab your credit card and other sensitive information.
