New Ebay Phish

Spotted this posted today on another site:

Just received an email purpoting to be from Ebay offering me an upgrade to
Power Seller status - looks very much like a new approach to separate you
from your userid and password. Thought I'd post this warning as it seems a
slightly different approach from the 'security warning' mails. Redirects you
to http:// ebaypowerseller.official.ws/ which has an underlying URL of
http:// home.graffiti.net/gheorghe4:graffiti.net/


EDITED to remove links so no-one enters info

    Please do NOT imput any information into the above links, they are for information only so you are not caught by this scam.

    If you do they will have access to your e-bay account.

    There is at least one new scam letter every day..as long as you remember never to click on links within an email you will be fine.

    I was on holiday recently, came back to dozens of phishing letters :-(
