someone trying to take over my ebay and paypal account

Posted By: andy

One day I filled out a form that I thought was legit and emailed from ebay. It was an offer to become a "power seller" and listed the benefits. I broke my rule not even thinking and responded. Next thing I know I'm selling tractors with "buy it now" prices. Anywhere you click on the screen redirected you to a email address to inquire about the fake tractors. The security folks at Ebay acted pretty quick and the listings were gone within 15 minutes.

I needed a new password also. Don't fall for the "Power Seller" email!
