eBay credit card scam (just in case)

All

Just to let you know there is another credit card social engineering scam going round, got an e-mail this morning and the website it goes to is live (entered some duff info that looks like it could be real) - I've reported it.

The link looks real but has an address hidden underneath it.

The e-mail has the following details.

I too received the same email and ignored it.

I was going to report it but after spending about 1/2 an hour on the ebay web site, I couldn't work out how to!

Computers are supposed to work on 1's and 0's - in other words "Yes" or "No" - why does mine frequently say "Maybe"?......
