Received this email today:
**Account Pre-Suspension Notice**
You have received this email because we have strong reason to believe that your eBay account had been recently compromised used by a third party without your authorization. In order to prevent any fraudulent activity from occurring we are required to open an investigation into this matter. To speed up this process, you are required to verify your eBay infos by following the link below.
This is where the link would take me (have not tested it):
http://signin.ebay.com-confirm.us/eBayISAPI.dll?signln&UserID=riv-iera:

It opens a page "http://user-verify.info/eBayISAPI.dll", which in turn uses meta tag "REFRESH" to load "http://user-verify.info/eBayISAPI.php?MfcISAPICommand=SignInUSR&UsingSSL=1". That page has an "encrypted" javascript (looks very lame) that generates or loads eBay-like sign-in page.

I got the same e-mail today and reported it to eBay (forwarded it to spoof@ebay.com).
The reply from eBay was
...
The email you reported did not originate from, nor is it endorsed by,
eBay. We are very concerned about this problem and are working
diligently to address the situation. We are currently investigating the
source of this email to take further action. You may rest assured that
your account standing has not changed and that your listings have not
been affected.
...
Conclusion: This is a "spoof message". DO NOT REPLY TO IT !!!
