New e-bay Scam
Posted by: Matt. R on 23 September 2004
There is currently a new, and very convincing e-bay email scam which warns you of an account problem and asks you to click on a link to resolve it. Redirection to e-bay login. proceeding to login will result in ebay account being hijacked & possibly e-mail account as well. Happened to a friend of mine, who is now 'selling' whirlpool tubs in Texas for $1500 a pop; only HE isn't, if you see what I mean. Reported to e-bay and e-mail service provider & now suspended, but potentially damaging; especially if paypal account password is the same as e-bay login.
You have all been warned.
Apologies if this is nothing new, but it really shocked me.
