Hi,

I've been receiving similar e-mails and believe they are hoaxes.  Haven't
looked into it too much but there are grammatical mistakes there which to me
set alarm bells ringing because I don't think ebay would make such mistakes.

  I have received this Email from eBay today and am not sure whether or not
it is a hoax.  Has anyone else received anything similar?  I am reluctant to
click on the link for obvious reasons.  The Email was received from
aw-confirm@xxxxxxxxx

  I have pasted the text of the Email below.
