I get one of these almost every time I sell something on eBay lately, because my eBay account is an email address (doh!).  I was sending them on to eBay support so they can track these shysters down, but I got tired of having to do it all the time (let eBay support do it, that's what they are paid for :)  so I just delete them now.

But note that eBay will NEVER ask for credit card information in an email, nor ask you to 'update' stuff like that in an unprotected email.  Nor should any other honest company, for that matter so ANYTIME you see something like that, tell your ISP, eBay or whomever might be able to do something about it. .
