I don't get it. How can this email squeeze the pw/login from you if it points to an EBay server address :-?.


Maybe because it only *looks* as if it takes you to an ebay address...

The detail these phishing sites are getting into is sometimes pretty amazing.  I recently received one from Wells Fargo bank (clearly a scam since I don't even have an account there), but the address was *.wellsfargo.com, and it was even SSL encrypted!  It looked *very* authentic and I don't doubt that people were fooled by it.  They even had the audacity to link to www.wellsfargo.com right there on the page!

You've got to be more and more and MORE careful these days, unfortunately :-/

I think Wells Fargo does the banking for PayPal?
