A link is included in the email that directs you to an "Ebay" page, but the URL looks like total scam to me: http://[email protected]/.ebayDLLupdate/index.html Notice it is ebay.com@incu. Bullshit. I have contacted Ebay, which is harder to do than Chinese math, will see if this is as fraudulent as I sense it to be. The page "looks" kosher, but not that URL. This is a scam, a pretty good one, but I am calling shenanigans. Plus, the email says Ebay will be forced to terminate my Ebay account if I don't respond w/in with ALL fields of info provided. Bullshit part two. Beware, this thing stinks, wanted to warn all and see if anyone else received it. Sherriff midnite
