Default eBay spoof emails BE CAREFUL

I have received 3 emails from "eBay" asking me to log in for "security reasons" within the last 3 days. After VERY careful examination of the website I thought it was legit but went no farther before closely checking the header in the email message. Had it NOT been for a simple mis-spelling, "secutity", I might have logged in as the site looks 100% authentic. I reported these to eBay at spoof@ebay.com and they are NOT from eBay. Had I logged in at the fake site they would have access to my user name and password and then have access to all my personal information (CREDIT CARD) and who knows where THAT would lead. The hackers are just getting better and better!! Craig

Ebay's site states that they WILL NOT ask for sensitive information in an email, so based on that fact, you know ANY such email claiming to be from ebay is a FAKE!
