Hello Gene

I received a simular message that looked for all the world like it was
coming from EBay. They claimed that they were from the fraud dept. (heh
ironic huh) and to reconfirm that I was an legitament EBay user I had to
provide them with my credit card number under the pain that I'd be
disallowed to trade on EBay if I didn't.. I the site looked real complete
with SSL links.  Showed to the scam to my son then deepsixed it. That was
three days ago and I'm still trading on EBay 8-)
