The scumbags are at it again. The latest group has manufactured an email which looks identical to the email ebay sends to notify you that you are a successful seller of an item on ebay and to send an invoice to the buyer, etc. It is designed to fool almost everyone. The catch is that the item you "sold" is something you never listed. It is a legitimate item, a legitimate auction, a legitimate sale, you were just not the seller. If you click on the link to see what the frigging item was, it's too late. If you are curious and don't wish to immediately delete the email and go on your way, go to the ebay web site, click on the site map, and manually type in the number of the auction provided. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!!
Sigh These idiots have absolutely nothing better to do than screw with people and try to hack their accounts. I reported it to ebay and it is being investigated, but forewarned is forearmed.
