I keep receiving e-mail supposedly from eBay that my account will be =
shut down unless I confirm my information.  When I click on the link, =
the page asks for things such as SSN, credit card infor, eBay passwords =
etc.  I never gave ebay that information to begin with.

I forward the e-mail to spoof@ebay.com.  If you come across this at =
paypal, forward the e-mail to spoof@paypal.com

The term phishing comes from the fact that Internet scammers are using
increasingly sophisticated lures as they "fish" for users' financial
information and password data...
