I got a couple of these e-mails.  I turned them over to eBay and also to the FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement).  According to the FDLE, the e-mails come from Romania, where they don't have laws against such things. 

 

The e-mail doesn't ask you to send the update information in an e-mail, but directs you to a site that looks like a real eBay site and has links to the real thing.  It asks for your user ID, credit card numbers and (what really made me suspicious) Social Security number.   

 

Can't be too careful these days.
