OT: Threatening letter from eBay, Is it bogus??? Options

[ninefourteener]

The ONLY reason I think this letter may be bogus is because of who the letter was titled to....... "single_stl_dad" is my Yahoo profile. "Ninefourteener" is my EBay handle... wouldn't they have referred to me as "ninefourteener"??

Here's the letter they just sent me..... Is it bogus? When I clicked on the link, my firewall popped up with a couple warnings...
