OT: Son of a ...

[AgentZero]

Something similar happened to my dad. He got an email off of eBay telling him he needed to update his account page. He clicked the provided link and filled in all his information again, including credit card details. Then, a couple days later he was at the eBay site and checked his account page and noticed that a few small changes he'd made didn't appear. He put two and two together and the first thing he did was ring his bank to have his credit card blocked. The following day, he recieved an email off of Paypal saying that since he'd changed his eBay details they could no longer process payments until he updated his details with them. Of course, being a bit suspicious at that point, he forwarded the email to Paypals customer service, who wrote him back saying that the email had not come from Paypal at all.

Sneaky sneaky sneaky, no?
