If you use Ebay at all, please be warned - do NOT act on this email if you receive it. It is a hoax to get your personal and bank information. I have sent a notice to Ebay support for whatever that is worth, but this would in no way be something actually coming from Ebay via email. The site page it links to is NOT a secured site (no lock icon at bottom) and Ebay does not ask for all of that information anyway. Please do not give away your identity- your Ebay acct will not be affected...

Thanks,
EricB

Someone used the text of the link as the real ebay one, but the actual place it pointed was the fake ebay-confirm.org site.
