BEWARE Ebay method to track suspended users

[Rosanna]

Today I received an email in a box that I had used with my original suspended ebay account from Bank of America telling me that there had been fraudulent activity on my account. I then realized that I had NEVER given this card my email address, I pay my bills by mail, so I looked at the source of the email, and guess who it was? Yes, EBAY! They must have used my credit check info from paypal, and utilized a credit card of mine to send a email to track me. This is the only explanation that I can think of.
Is this legal? Has anyone else seen this?
Lesson learned: BURY ALL OLD EMAIL ACCOUNTS ASSOCIATED WITH EBAY! AND NEVER OPEN EMAILS FROM ANYONE YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH IS DIFFICULT THOUGH WHEN YOU ARE SELLING ONLINE.

It sounds like a phishing scam.

hopefully, but the return path was ebay.com, but I am a tech dummy so I hope in this case you are right.

is this phising? thanks guys

Definitely phishing. outer-net.com is a small ISP, eBay wouldn't be using that to send emails.
