Next time go to http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/ and put the URL in the
box at the top. The owner of that Netblock is EUnet/RELCOM. Sniffing around
in a Google search makes me think this is a provider in Russia somewhere.

> Subject: O/T - Phony eBay Billing Problem Notice
>
>
> A few days I received my expected billing for auction listings on eBay.
> Today I received a notice from eBay indicating that there was a
> problem with
> my method of payment. I looked at the URL for the eBay web page. It is:
>
> http://www.ebayupdate.net/
>
> When you go to www.whois.com and enter ebayupdate.net there is no result
> returned. whois.com will tell you a lot about the registered owner of a
> domain name. The less they know the less interested in whatever
> the page is
> about you should be.
>
> When you load the web page there is a java script error, and when you look
> at the source HTML script for the web page you find it is a free DHTML
> script by Nick Lowe (nicklowe@ukonline.co.uk).
>
> The page seems to use real eBay graphics, but requests everything they can
> think to ask you about your personal information starting with your eBay
> user name and password. From their they want everything they can
> think of.
> Probably far more than eBay wanted when you originally registered
> with them.
>
> As a final step I went to eBay.com and logged into my account. The recent
> billing has been collected and there are no problems indicated there.
>
> This is the first such fraudulent I have seen claiming to be from
> eBay, but
> I have seen three or so claiming to be from PayPal. Those even
> followed up
> when I did not respond and insisted that I update their records.
> I replied
> telling them to go to hell and they never sent another request follow up
> request.
>
> REMEMBER. IF YOU DON'T START THE EXCHANGE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION, DON'T
> SEND ANY INFORMATION AT ALL. It is probably a fraud, and there should
> always be a way to log onto your account and see what is really going on.
