An e-mail is under circulation in the name of e-bay Billing
Update which appears to be an attempt at phishing for critical information from the
unwary Netizens.
Netizens may kindly take steps not to fall prey.
A copy of the mail received today by the undersigned was as
follows:

Dear eBay member,
This is an automated message sent to you by eBay Billing
Update.
We have recently tried to VeriCharge your credit or
debit card we have on record for $0.01, and the charge was
declined. The $0.01 charge is only to confirm that the credit
or debit card that you submitted to eBay is current.
The charge being declined was likely caused by your credit
card being over its limit or that the account has been
cancelled.
In order for us to keep your account open we need to verify
the status of your credit or debit card. In furtherance all
flagged accounts will be given a full 48 hours prior to
eBay suspending your account. We thank you for your
response and look forward to continuing to serve you.
Please click here: http://billing.ebay.com to proceed to our
secure 128 bit SSL encrypted billing server.
Yours sincerely,
Dave Meyers
eBay Billing Department
