Wow, yea, it is a scam, I put in a bogus name and a "YouHaveBeenREportd" as the p***word and got this...

Account Confirmation process is finished.
Thank you. Once you receive this message, it means that your account information was confirmed succesfully.

Got that email as well today. The web site looks just like the ebay login style. I can't believe how legit this scam looks. It's definitely going to cause some problems for ebay and it's users.

There has been ALOT of this going around. Wether it be to verify your credit card, ebay account, paypal account, whatever.

All of these regarding ebay or paypal should be forwarded to spoof@ebay.com or spoof@paypal.com as they will pursue them.

Have received tons of those emails for both Paypal and Ebay. Wonder how many people have fallen for it?

Yes, it looks very legit, even if you click around, it's pulling live auctions off the real site....only giveaway is if you look at the URL in the address bar. I am sure there have been a LOT of people that fell for it!

I saw that on my local news the other night.

The kicker was the spelling and punctuation errors.
