Emd, I'm sure you don't need telling (but I'll tell you anyway!) that any legitimate company will NEVER ask you for personal or account details, and most will address you by name (NOT "Dear Customer").

Get them all the time and mark them as phishing but still they come, Delete is about all you can do, and as Bigron says legitimate company's never ask for your personal details.  >:(

Just had a reply from Ebay .

The email you
reported did not come from PayPal or eBay. It was a fake, often called a
"spoof" or "phishing" email. (That's "phishing," as in "fishing" for
personal information.) Our security teams are working to disable any
websites it links to.
