I think you'd find that if the email was posted as an attachment, the link
would point somewhere else. Because the text of the email has been
copied/pasted we are only seeing the text link, and outlook express is
converting it to a hyperlink automatically. I bet that if you were to look
at the original email's source, you'd find that there is a bogus hyperlink
beneth.

I don't know but this sounds like a scam, I know that AOL states they will
never ask you for your you account info and I have gotten scammers in the
past
that have sent me this same type of scam claming to be reps from AOL.

Here is the wording from the mail.

Normally these scams come from somewhere like Korea, but this server
appears to resolve to a genuine Ebay address. If you are unsure, just
go to the Ebay website (not via the link) and manage your account that
way.
