It is a scam where a hacker is using other peoples accounts( in this case bledwyn) to spam. if you click on the link at asks you for name and password, this is how they can get into your account - DONT DO IT! just delete the message!

The bit between the exclamation marks is the message, i didnt mean to offend anyone just trying to warn people of the danger!

I'll go back to building my car before getting into more trouble

surely the best way for ebay to get away from this is not to send you emails about your messages where you might be tempted to click on the link??
If i'm selling something I check for messages everyday while logged into ebay.
Or am I missing something here?

I doubt the scammer will read this, but some of the kids of forum members might.

Firefox flags this up as a web forgery and advises you to "get the hell out of here"

I just checked it with the phishing filter on IE7. It doesn't recognise it as a phishing site and will happily let you enter your Ebay details.

I've reported it to MS as a Scam site.
