I've reported the scam to eBay, and sent a copy of the email content through to spoof. It was also in my eBay messages, so the CS rep who rang me was able to see immediately that it was a scam/hacking message. He also said that the Ukraine is the latest place for scammers to set up new accounts. Though bad news for the scammers, eBay apparently have a lead on them.
The other thing he did say was that it was a good idea to put the user id on here as an upfront warning to others, as clearly I'm not going to be the only one receiving the email.
So luna-2304, I'm going to post the id again, and would appreciate it if you didn't remove it this time. I know it's against policy, but in this circumstance I, and eBay, believe it is warranted.
The id is jyc_3265
