Check this out:
A while ago I received a bogus email from what looked like ebay. I opened the email and it asked me to become a power seller. I never clicked the link because I knew it could be a scam. I did however leave the email open and went to ebay directly by typeing in
http://www.ebay.com
Those f'nnnn bastards were able to watch me type my password in and hi-jacked my ebay account
. They listed a quad and a Horse Trailer for sale with a buy it now price. Every link on the bogus auctions, when clicked, brought up an email to their email address.
Fortunatly, I contacted ebay and they removed the auctions right away.
Any email message from ebay is also located under "messages" in your "my ebay" so never ever open any emails from ebay.
