Yep, got this same one or very similar about 6 to 8 months ago, with the further escalating warnings of account closure. About the same time a friend at work got a spoofed ebay account information request. They were sharper and used an activeX button to initiate the reply, thereby hiding their own url from the casual user. They were even going so far as to link their graphics (ebay icons & such) back to ebays real website graphics! No wonder it looked dead on legit! As PayPal, ebay, or even rendo marketplace will tell ya, they already have all that information, they'll never ask you for it. Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention, dr geep. Mike K
