Ebay Scam That Could Have Happened - if i fell for it and had ebay

etan
Ok I dont have the email anymore but I got an email from so called ebay stating my account has almost been accesed 25 times in the last 3 days all with invalid password. They gave me a link and said, go here and refill out your account info and you'll be all set. If you don't do this in 3 days we'll have no other choice but to delete your accound. Finally they put This Is Not A Scam.

Wanna know the funny thing I dont have an ebay account.

Just goes to show that your ebay account is finally no longer safe. So if you are almost scamed I salout you for not falling for it. If you were scamed I hope you sue them for all they have.

I know, Ebay is not safe. My friend (in India) purchased goods more than $250 and ordered to his friends place in US. This friend was supposed to mail the package to him. Everything went fine and the package arrived too. But then, after a month, the people from whom all these goods were purchased lost the money which he had paid. After 1 month, Ebay tells him that we purposely freezed your account as we thought it was a scam!! !@#$@#%

What the hell on earth is it supposed to mean ? :-S

I mean, after taking the cash and working out the transactions.. it suddenly sez this.. No way dude, its not safe.

I got a paypal account which is used for accepting payments on Computinghost. I don't use it on ebay at any cost. I rather transfer the money to some other account and use that for shopping. :-)

  8. Ebay Accounts Being Hijaked
    Please share this with other eBayers (8)
    Our son had his eBay account hijaked, yesterday. It took him almost a half day to get it sorted out.
    A heads-up buyer got suspicious of an auction for a snowmobile requiring a $1,000 deposit, so he
    found our son's phone # and called before paying. The listing did NOT belong to our son. Once
    the perp got our son's eBay password, he also hacked his email account, which used the same
    password. That took another half hour to sort out. This buyer told our son there has been a rash of
    these hijakings, lately. Obviously eBay isn't as secure as we thought. If any ....
