Subject: RE: I think this is a scam but...It's a scam. I had someone hack into my ebay account, put up about 60 listings for DVD sets (season collections of all the hot shows ), then change the paypal address/account to his own. People actually bought stuff within hours of the listing showing up, and payment was sent to some clown who likely had no intention of sending the goods.
I caught the act IN THE PROCESS. He was actively posting new items when I logged into my account...he hadn't changed the password yet.
I immediately notified Ebay and within 1 hour, all the listing swere removed and my account was credited the listing fees. I reported the paypal account address to both ebay and paypal. I 'm not sure what happened on the paypal end of things (my account information is safe there ), but it was an enlightening experience.
The hassle of remembering a password that looks like: kIthd223xYz is worth it. |
