    It's scammers like these that make us put stuff on our website such as "We will never ask for your login details via email" and so forth. ********.
    If in doubt, Google it.

    I manage a spam filter for one of my clients and get 40 or so of these a day. The bank phishers come and go in cycles, but the eBay phishers seem to be pretty persistent. Unfortunately, one of the client's staff took it upon themselves to clear the filter one day, saw all of these emails in the list, so they released them through to the staff. I spent the next couple of days making sure no-one had answered them - at least 5 had and had to change all their details (this was one of their on-site IT support people who should have been sacked long ago).
