Well people, I almost fucked myself with this email that I got

I know that my checking account information has been outta date on my Ebay account and I've been meaning to update it, but I wasn't selling anything, so I didn't bother to update it. After getting this email, I went over and figured that they did need it, but wondered about their 24 hour urgency that they stated in the email, that seemed odd.

Anyways, when I clicked on the link to update my infotmation. I went to the account page which looks like the normal Ebay page. Well, when I got to the credit card section, I started to enter it in until I saw that they wanted my PIN NUMBER, which set up the flag for me. I then looked at the domain and the domain is some foreign site http://www.ecotone-re.com I immediately closed it down of course.

Here's the link to get to the page that I was talking about, you'll probably have to cut and paste it because it's a long one

Did anyone else get an email like this ??? It scares the shit outta me how I almost fell for it. If it wasn't for them wanting a PIN number, I"m sure that I would've finished the registration, giving them my checking and credit card info.
