Do we consider this to be in scope?
The HTML mail I just received appears to come from EBay,
and has lots of eBay URLs in. But it also has stuff like
http://64.23.11.155/yama/ebay/index2.htm
...which rather suspiciously solicits my credit card info.
I'd hope that RDF/XML labels and ratings could offer some
help to consumers here.
Currently, I assume all emails apparently from eBay are
junk/lies. This trend, I think, is seriously holding back
the growth of the Web, and consumer confidence in ecommerce.
Thoughts?
Dan

Dear eBay Member,
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your eBay account
from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account
was used by a third party without your authorization. If you recently
accessed your account while traveling, the unusual login attempts may have
been initiated by you
The login attempt was made from:
IP address: 172.25.210.66
ISP Host: cache-66.proxy.aol.com
By now, we used many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information
our users provide us when they register on the Site. However, because user
verification on the Internet is difficult, eBay cannot and does not
confirm each user's purported identity. Thus, we have established an
offline verification system o help you evaluate with who you are dealing
with.

request, you leave us no choice but to
temporally suspend your account.
