I don't know if it is from a disgruntled loser in ebay auctions or just someone who prowls around the vintage card section but both my user ids got it.
Tom is right DO NOT CLICK on this scam and submit your password. I hope they catch this bast**d and arrest him. But don't hold your breath, eBay is more concerned with making sure sellers get their items in the right categories than protecting their customers.
