I too have received this email, and others telling me to "... log in and
verify your password and user id... " purporting to be from eBay or PayPal,
etc.

IMO these are *always* going to be scams. The real site won't ask you for
your password, they already have it. And some of these emails claim that my
account is in danger of being deleted due to non-use... there's *no*
possibility of that! <g>
