eBay users are the target of this Security Check email hoax ...
This eBay email hoax carries the subject line 'Security Check'.
The email is simply a sign in page similar to that which you would see at eBay's genuine site.
If you were to enter your eBay user name and password into this 'form', the data would be sent on to the scammers via a PHP script located at citirica.com which is hosted by yahoo.com.
You wont end up at the pag which captures this data, though - it redirects you, before you know it, to the genuine eBay.com sign in page.

If you have
received this hoax 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.
