Dave is right! You have been scammed! You should NEVER, NEVER respond to
an UNSOLICITED request for any personal info, like credit card or bank account
numbers, from anyone, period! I have had emails titled like "Scheduled 
Cancellation
of Your Ebay Account Due to Certain Feedback". It even had the ebay logo
attached to it but when they were saying that the way that I could resolve
this issue was to send them my bank acount and credit card numbers, I quickly
deleted it without even thinking about giving these bozos my personal info!
Ebay or any other reputable organization never sends unsolicited request for
personal info like that and they warn you not to respond to anyone that asks
for this info. As a matter of fact they tell you to report them! Cancel that
credit card as soon as you can!
