eBAY USERS: ALERT! SPAM E-MAILS, PLEASE READ

[AC]

I received today this e-mail, apparently from eBay:
---------

Thanks AC, I didn't get this one, but I have received similar scam emails from that appeared to be from Earthlink and Paypal...even used all their graphics to make it look official...
I contacted both companies, they told me that these emails were frauds and they said that the only time a user would be asked to enter sensitive information fould be on their site and not in reply to an email or even in a link from an email...
