Try to Fool Me

I just recieved an E-mail from someone claiming to be Ebay saying I need to update my account "within the next 24 hours". I have never used Ebay nor have I ever opened an account with them. My first thought was Identity Theft so I went to Ebay's site and followed the instructions to report suspected fraud. I read that this is a common tactic for some people to get information on others, useful things like credit card numbers. The link that the E-mail included cannot be found so it looks like someone shut down the operation.
