I've just done the same (as DrZed). Fortunately my 'ancient' Mac couldn't access the site. Then I started checking, and closed it before anything happened - Phew! Googled the link address - nothing! I really don't expect to sign into a 'secure' 'PW-protected' site, and be scammed. EBay MUST take some responsibility for this, and take appropriate action, otherwise ALL members' security is compromised. That is unacceptable! (This 'prize draw' came up next to my financial statement!)

Then tell eBay, not us. If everyone who likes to let off steam here would take the trouble to contact eBay, something might be done.
In fact, I'm not sure what, if anything, eBay can do about this. These fake ads have nothing to do with eBay, and can be blocked by using ad blocking or malware detection software. Whether there is anything that eBay could do, technically or legally to prevent them targeting the site I don't know. But nothing will be done unless enough users take up their time to report this problem .
