Ebay email. Is this a scam?

I really dont or actually have never used it after I signed up. I just got this e-mail. I am assuming its a scam but is there someone I should foward this to at Ebay or just delete it?

Your credit/debit card information must be updated


Dear eBay Member,
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your eBay account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account was used by a third party without your authorization. If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual login attempts may have been initiated by you.

The login attempt was made from:
IP address: 172.25.210.66
ISP Host: cache-66.proxy.aol.com
By now, we used many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide us when they register on the Site. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, eBay cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity. Thus, we have established an offline verification system to help you evaluate with whom you are dealing with.

It's definitely spam...anything from ebay will be addressed to your name, not ebay member.

I believe you can report it to [email protected]
