Re: eBay scam or not?

A while ago I did get a legitimate credit card update request from e bay.  It 
asked me to go to the e bay site and update my info.  I used regular e bay 
page links and not those contained in the e mail just in case the mail was 
fake.

Turns out my expiration date was past and needed to enter the info on the e 
bay page.  Real web sites will never ask for a credit card #,  though some 
vendors will ask only if you are in a transaction with them.  In that case I 
send the  # in two different e mails and split the # up. Also don't put 
"Credit Card Info "in the body or header.  This prevents someone from using a 
mail sniffer.
