We all know what it is... well, most of us do anyway. In case you
misunderstood, the OP was writing about how he hadn't been to the ebay site
in over a year, then he did... once, and immediately started receiving these
emails. His point was, that perhaps ebay is doing something fishy (pun
intended), in allowing his email address leaked to the phishers once he
logged on to the site. Sounds phishy to me. Possibly a coincidence as
well... who knows.
