I got it too, and I think that it is real. There is no other reason that anyone would have to send this email to my particular email address associated with my Ebay account. Even PWCC should not know this email address, so there couldn't be a master PWCC email list somewhere that someone could hack and use to send out fraudulent emails. I'm not surprised, and I also share the lack of confidence that anything will actually come from this.

If it's fake Brentsy can come here and say so, put out a statement, etc.

Correction: PWCC does have my email address. So this in fact could have come from someone with access to their mailing list.

This was my initial thought since I am on their email list as well.
