Default eBay scam

Got an email saying that i needed to update my info etc etc... the site linked is:

DONT ENTER YOUR INFO ON THIS!!!!!!
http://www.verifying-acounts.info/eB...nIn/index.html

thing is... the email was received in the account that ONLY eBay knows... no spam ever goes there because its not used for anything else really. eBay leakage?... hmm... hfawk:
