I got it too.  Here's a copy of the email sent out.  I deleted the others,
but this one made me laugh.

misspelled words included.  people often over look spelling errors.  MSNBC
recently did a story on this very issue.  called "EBay thief reveals tricks
of the trade"

like the others have said, apply this scam to any website you use to
exchange information or money (information is money) and only go through
regular processes to update your personal info.

That's a scam to get your info, Bob.

Same thing's gone around for PayPal and similar operations.

Those legitimate folks never send you an e-mail asking for that sort of
thing.  They ask you to go to their website and sign in and then check with
whatever they want to know.

You don't want to go to a website except through your normal link.
