This spoof eBay email (see image below) is in HTML format and contains a form to provide your eBay user name and password. Once this information is submitted, the data is sent to a remote script located at http://ebay.climbtrade.com/ which resolves to a Yahoo Inc users' web space.

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
