E-BAY credit info request

I received an e-mail requesting credit verification from E-Bay. Very official looking message and link to a web site that appears to be E-Bay. However they are asking for information that should never be given over the internet such as checking account numbers, ATM pin #'s, E-Bay and PayPal passwords, drivers license numbers, etc. Very suspicious!!

Since E-Bay has no phone contact numbers I could not confirm with them that this is a hacker trying to gain information, but just to alert everyone else here that this type of info should not be given out.

Anyone else get these e-mail requests??
