Ebay scam. Dont get caught in a scam.

This morning I got the following e-mail that a trusting e-mail user would think is legit but infact its NOT.

Dear valued eBay member: It has come to our attention that your eBay account information needs to be updated as a matter of precaution and security. If you could please take 5-10 minutes out of your online experience and update your personal records you will not run into any future problems with the online service. However, failure to update your records will result in account suspension. Please update your records by January 1th. Once you have updated your account records your eBay session will not be interrupted and will continue as normal. To update your eBay records click here:

There is a link below that that 'look' like its legit but infact its NOT. The link is structured in such a way that it does not take you to where it says. Instead resolves to a a connection in Inda.

This is simular to a popular paypal scam that thousands of people have clicked on and fully given their credit card information to bad guys.
