Ettagale...

    Welcome to the newest cyber "sport"......It's called "phishing"....
    Bogus notification messages that urge you to click a link and update
    your info or your account will be restricted/terminated/modified
    etc. 

    ***NEVER CLICK ON THAT LINK*** 

    EBAY, Paypal, the various banks and CC companies do not send out
    these kind of messages for personal information to be supplied via an
    embedded link... Phishers do... 

    If you do so and provide the requisite information, you're setting
    yourself up for identity theft.... 

    Even if it does not appear to work, the site you hit can infect your
    machine with a virus, adware, or keystroke logger, or some kind of
    other malware... 

    The thing to do if you feel the message might be legit, open up a
    new browser and go to official website the normal way you would, to
    check it out.... 

    Sinced you clicked on the link and it didn't seem to work, now might
    be a good time to do a virus scan and use something like Adaware
    and/or Spybot Search and Destroy (both probably) to check your system
    out.... 

    Better to be safe than sorry...
