Phishing password trap

There's a new email going around, from a Slovakian source, that purports to be a "bid confirmation" or "no-pay bidder notice" from E-bay. And of course it's for something you never had anything to do with. Helpful links to the appropriate E-bay pages are included, so that you can "correct the error."

Of course you have to go through the E-Bay login process first.... which of course is a phony login page. giving your ebay username and password (likely used on other sites such as paypal or american express) to some crooks in Slovakia.

It's actually a pretty well done fraud, and will doubtless catch many unaware. Pass the word.
