Awesome Phishing Attempt

I just got a pretty good phishing attempt in email a few minutes ago. I posted it on the web here. The formatting is pretty bad on the online version, but it looked like a real ebay mailing in the email. Take a look at the page they tell you to go to. It redirects to http://67.19.227.39/ with some other stuff after it. If you go to that IP, it's web service provider. And the IP that "intruded into my account" is offline, which would make no sense if it was an AOL proxy. Also, the message intro bar (you can't see it in the online version) is an older version than current one.
