eBay Account Takeover
Over the weekend we had our eBay account taken over by some scammers out of Italy (supposedly, probably not even from there.) They started sending out offers to sell iPods and motorcycles. Fortunately eBay caught on and changed our password (which was also a pain but not as bad as having scams get out there.) Not sure how this happens though. They tried to change our e-mail address but that was stopped.

Greetings!
So when E-Bay sent you a warning e-mail – that you were being scammed – it really WASN’T a "phishy" mail! 😛 I’d like to see what a REAL mail from E-Bay looks like in that instance – all I’ve ever seen ARE the scammers. I seem to send more mail to "spoof@ebay.com," then I do to some traders! 😮
