    My mother-in-law received one of these today that was similar. Her's said her account was expired and to click link to renew. Wisely, she contacted Ebay about the notice. They responded in under 10 min. with instructions to delete the message.

    More about phishing.

    I read somewhere recently that around 20% will click on bogus links in email or fill out bogus forms.

    With those results, it's no wonder the phishermen keep on doing it.
