It's called phishing. You get them saying they're from banks, ebay, paypal - anyone who keeps financial details. No point in reporting it - just delete them.

So they take your ebay username and password, and to top it all off, they ask for for your credit card details *and* your PIN number.

In fairness, if I saw the PIN field, I'd immediately spot the scam (assuming I didn't see the URL).

Hint: You can disable javascript and/or stick in any old details, and it will let you progress.

A lot of them come out of Asia, I have got many of them from banks I have never heard of. Never give them anything.

Or from infected PCs. Gotta love people who don't install anti-virus software.

If you have a google mail account (gmail) it automatically disables these kinds of mails and throws them into the spam folder. Any it misses you can flag and it will stop them from getting other people.
