Since we were on the topic of Ebay fraud on another thread...
I just got this in my email...it was titled "Ebay Security Request".
Dear eBay User,
During our regular update and verification of the accounts, we could not verify your current information. Either your information has changed or it is incomplete.
As a result, your access to bid or buy on eBay has been restricted.
According to our site policy you will have to confirm that you are the real owner of the eBay account by log in and complete the form that will pop up or else your account will be suspended without the right to register again with eBay.
After you will login please verify your information in order to complete this verification.

The original email is in HTML, so some things are missing. There was a section to enter your User ID and Password.
Doesn't look legit to me, especially if you view the source code. I forwarded to Ebay fraud department.
But I'll bet there are plenty of folks who dutifully logged in and are now the proud owners of hijacked accounts.
Ifyou want to minimize fraud online, a little common sense will go a long way.
Hey, anyone want my credit card numbers
