DON'T EVEN OPEN.....!!!!!! The FTC and FBI as well as eBay are after
these off shore scam artists. Some can get your computer ID with an
imbedded 'mole' if you log into their URL. There is a similar scam
going with PayPal - - a very official looking email requesting you to
log in and provide confirmation of your banking data, etc.!!!!
Key to the puzzle: eBay and PayPal and other secure sites will simply
refuse service if 'update' needed. They will only 'accept', never
request secure data.
Probably from Indonesia.......... deja vu !!!
