Surreal Phishing Expedition

[drplokta]

I get a lot of spam. Which includes regular phishing expeditions to ask me to "verify" my eBay account on some dummy server somewhere so that my account can be hijacked. But I've never before had one quite like this, which I reproduce verbatim. I was nearly fooled, it sounds so authentic...

I've wondered, just what would happen if I ever filled in one of these things - with completely false accounts and passwords...

Even better, too bad someone doesn't work on fake accounts to bait the phishers? I suppose that would fall under entrapment, in someone's court-room wiggle.
