I was looking for 4.6 parts for my cobra yesterday and I clicked on a posting it loaded then re-directed to the login page, I didnt realize it but it was a spoof (fake) login page. I entered my username and password to login back in, nothing happened at first, but yesterday evening they hijacked my account and changed my password, luckly they didnt bid or by anything they just listed a suzuki motorcycle but ebay caught it and called me, i got it all straightend out now, but watch out if you click on a posting link and it takes you to a login page, report it to ebay!

i just got a fake email. pretty easy to spot, since pretty much every online service has a strict policy against asking for user info in an email.

Yeah its pretty serious problem

yeah i get fake emails all the time. i just thought i better warn every one of this, or they may not as lucky as i was about them not buying or bidding on anything.

i've gotten a lot of those "immediate action required" emails, and i'm not even a ebay user

same thing happened to me bro..in fact that even listed the same suzuki gxr under my name, ebay removed it though as well and things are way stragihtened out. Unfortunately, it was my barely computer literate father (uses the net for ebay, guitars and such), who opened up an email that showed half of a picture of some naked chick and said "to see the rest login to your ebay account," and took him directly to a spoof page where he submitted are account information. yes it's true..[&:]
