Move this to appropriate forum if need be.
I received an email from what looked like ebay. It ended up in my bulk folder, so I was highly suspicious.

Dear eBay User
As stated in the User Agreement, Section 41.1, we may send you this email.
We regret to inform you that your eBay account can be suspended if you do not solve your problems and you do not co-operate. After the multiple frauds registered lately, our company has initiated a study regarding this problem. In this study the company has reached the conclusion that most of the frauds were possible because of the low email service security level .
< DIV> For a best deployment of our further activities (the frauds prevention) our company has decided to test for free the security of the email services that you (our users) use.
Hoping you have understood that we are doing all these for your own safety and for the good deployment of the relations between our company and its parteners we suggest you to acces the following form to test your e-mail .
This problem is regarding any eBay member .
If you do not respond in 24h after you have received this eBay notice, your account might be closed and got out from our server .
So we ask you kindly to co-operate and let us know if you still use your account or not.

A very vague, open email about fraud on my account. The addy in the new window (from clicking the link) does not match the one given in the email. In this post, however, it will take you to eBay, but it doesn't from the email.
It asks for ebay account ID & password, along with email address and password.
Here is the actual link it took me to:

Just want to warn you fellow eBayers out there. I reported it to eBay.
