A new clever eBay scam warning

I received an email this morning, purportedly from

eBay <advertise at ebay.com>   with the subject ' Win a great gift from ebay! '
The gift is a Mercedes and the text reads in part:

'Congratulations!

     eBay OFFERS THIS MONTH A  GREAT GIFT FOR MEMBERS
     All you need to do is to Click Here  login in your account and enter
     this number  252xxxxxxx  in the key box.    Thank you for choosing
     eBay '

This is apparently an attempt to get your eBay ID and Password. It is VERY
cleverly done and looks just like eBay's stuff. I think it's a scam because the
links (e.g. Feedback Forum, ...  )  do not work.

BE WARNED !!!
