even if it is, i wouldn't hand over bank account information over the internet. Especially if they're claiming your account got hacked into. Couldn't the same hack just send you that e-mail?

I haven't used ebay in 3 years and have no clue of my ancient password and no longer use the email address I did at the time.... It has got to be bullshit.

Me too. I did get a follow-up email from ebay warning me about this fraudulent email. Gotta watch your back now-a-days.

Never trust any email that asks you to login to a service or asks you to provide personal information. Never trust any email that gives you a link to click on or an attachment to open.

NEVER click on a link from an email. If you feel that you must, retype the URL provided in the email by hand. Do not click it directly and do not copy and paste it.
