or bank account number. If you had an ebay account and some free time, you could test this by using your ebay name and a fake password (I usually use a short obscene phrase). The real ebay will reject the password, a fake will accept it since they have no idea what your real passord is. You can then proceed to give them a fake credit card or bank number to waste THEIR time.
