Re: [Evolver] Am I being scammed? Hijacking, how it's done..

2006-05-13 by JOSHUA HOLLEY

It happens when you get an email from someone that is
fake (but you dont know it) and it asks you to log
in...you type in your username and password in what
you THINK is ebay but it's not...once they get it they
turn off all emails going to your account so you dont
get an email saying you're selling a 2005 lamborghini
or a Jupiter 8. So if you get an email even if it's
from ebay dont log onto ebay throught the email...log
onto it through ebays site. It happened to me once but
i caught it within a day and fixed it. I personally
got an email that said someone paid me for something
and didnt get it so i hit the respond button that took
me to the fake ebay login...then they had my username
and password. I hope this helps, there are a bunch of
scammers on ebay now...
