Verification Message Scam?

Hello ebayers, i recently received a message from a verifybot16 account (i didnt put out the whole account name just incase) but it said in the message that i had to click on the link which was id298.ebay-complete.com (another red flag) which was all in aid of verifying my account. Does anyone know if this is a scam message just fishing for my details?  
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

But its on my emails too and when i click on to the ebay message address it says a funny long email address. Then i got another message an hour later saying the same thing from another email address with similar address but different slightly

Verification Message Scam?

OK I take it back. I have just been told that someone has messaged you from an ebay account that has been created for the purposes of scamming people.   It's not a message from ebay at all, as your research has confirmed. 

 

It is a scam.

 

If you clicked on the link it would be wise to run virus checks and anti malware scans on your device.
