Another Ebay Scam! Account Takeover
 

Posted By: <b>Charlie Barokas</b><p>I just received this email through the ebay email system:<br /><br />Question from packerfanin5978 <br /> packerfanin5978( 17) <br /> Positive feedback: 100% <br /> Member since: Dec-13-05 <br /> Location: OH, United States <br /> Registered on: www.ebay.com <br /> <br />Item: HOOKS WILTSE T206 <i>PITCHING</i> *LOW POP* PSA 7+++ (190077521753) <br />This message was sent while the listing was active. <br />packerfanin5978 is a potential buyer. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Please confirm if this is the same item with the one listed on this address: <a href="http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/joannere2440" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/joannere2440</a><br /><br /><br /><br />The scam comes thru the ebay message system and asks you to relog in which I did. I immediately changed my password. This is another account takeover scam. Be careful with ebay. Now that the underbidders are hidden, the scam artists must take over accounts and end auctions and then try and sell to the bidders directly.<br /><br />Charlie<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br />

Posted By: <b>Turner Engle</b><p>Ebay has to do more to protect us. Has anyone ever heard of someone being arrested for a scam?<br /><br />I have sent probably 20+ fake scam emails to Ebay but other than their standard response,,, I don't think anything is ever done.<br /><br />don't forget<br /><br />spoof@ebay.com

Posted By: <b>Charlie Barokas</b><p>This is the most brazen scam yet because it comes thru the all protected ebay message system. And seems very legitmate. I am used to the many attempts that come from off ebay and have different fonts but this one had me fooled. Please learn from my mistake.<br /><br />Charlie
