I believe this is a new one. I have not received an email like this before. In this email they claim that your account has been suspended because of a "breach in the user agreement". There's then a link to a fake site to protest the matter. Where, of course, you have to sign in. Which is where they steal your id.
Just thought everyone around here might want to know about it.
Here's what the email says. I've deleted the link from the email so that no one accidentally clicks on it and for some reason gives their userid and pass info. Notice how it says dear "jimmymac@new.--.com" instead of using my eBay userID like eBay always does.
Dear Jimmymac@new.--.com,
