Ebay Law Suit?

in my e-mail this morning:
"Congratulations! You have received this Notice because the records of eBay, Inc. indicate you are a current or former eBay account holder who has been deemed eligible to receive a payment from the class action settlement in accordance with eBay Litigation, Case No. 02 1227 JF PVT, pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in San Jose.In your specific case you have been found to be eligible for a payment of $149.99 USD."

I haven't even spent that much at ebay, let alone deserve that much back in a class action suit. Of course, they say that they will transfer the money directly into your account, the information for which you provide by clicking a link. The page that comes up looks identical to an old ebay sign in page, except that the web address doesn't have the word ebay even in it. I really hope that phishing like this doesn't actually catch anyone.
