Another thing to remember is that there is rarely a legitimate need to rush into something and hand over your info right away. Many of the scams says something to the effect of, "You must do such-and-such in right away or your account will be closed in the next 6 hours." However, even if there it really is eBay or PayPal and they have legimate concern (perhaps your credit card number is wrong or expired), they will always give you at least several days to clear things up. My point being, that with these types of situations, scam or real, you should take your time and look into it before changing your password or giving personal information. There's never a need to rush.
