Every once in a while, eBay emails me out of the blue and asks me to update my personal details, with a link to a web page.

I always assumed they were phishing scams, but I looked closer at one, and it is a real link too a real page on their site. It's like they're training people to fall for phishing scams. One of them even displayed the name of a variable, instead of my user name.
