As I understand it- THIS IS NOT LEGIT! Contact E-Bay directly, and include a
copy of the letter. There has been a fraud of this nature for some time.
E-Bay will not ask for passwords, etc, or credit card numbers. There is a
very sophisticated ghost site which is a close copy of the real thing- even
working links- but it is a phony. Do not send any information to that site.
Be sure to contact e-bay, and possibly your local prosecutor regarding this-
it may be an indictable offense if they can catch them, and this would add
another charge to the sheet.
