I also got one with the subject "eBay's acquisition of PayPal". It asked for
debit card number, 4 digit ATM pin number, mother's maiden name, birth date,
etc. Everything they need to begin using your credit and identity

information. I also noticed the URL was redirected to a nonsecure, non Ebay,
site. We live among a bunch of low lifes that are too damn lazy to go out
and work for a living.
