I have had similar messages saying that my account information is out of
date.  As I know it is not, I just deleted the messages.  I assume they want
credit card details and the like.

Subject: [access-uk] Email Received from Ebay


I have received this Email from eBay today and am not sure whether or not it
is a hoax.  Has anyone else received anything similar?  I am reluctant to
click on the link for obvious reasons.  The Email was received from
aw-confirm@xxxxxxxxx

I have pasted the text of the Email below.
