Another Ebay Scam! Account Takeover

Posted By: Charlie Barokas

I just received this email through the ebay email system:

Question from packerfanin5978
packerfanin5978( 17)
Positive feedback: 100%
Member since: Dec-13-05
Location: OH, United States
Registered on: www.ebay.com

Item: HOOKS WILTSE T206 PITCHING *LOW POP* PSA 7+++ (190077521753)
This message was sent while the listing was active.
packerfanin5978 is a potential buyer.

Please confirm if this is the same item with the one listed on this address: http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/joannere2440

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.
