    Default EBAY = bitches!!!

    so i get this email a few days ago my account was locked down b/c it was accessed by a 3rd party posting items... they were listing some cars under my name... i was like WTF, i had one item i was selling and somehow they fucked that up too, so now i'm like WTF... did they get any other account info of mine... b/c they made me change my password etc... this shit is gay

    kinda shady too b/c EBAY caught it and emailed me... i'm wondering if they had a security breach and my account was one affected

    I was getting e-mail from eBay that i needed to update my paypal information otherwise it would be locked...legitimate mail from eBay, no links, just said update it. Was getting it once or twice a month and never changed anything....it was never locked either.

    Scams usually have a fake link...they'll change a letter or something in the URL and make you think you are going to the real site.

    I dont do IT work for a living and ive had similar emails from "eBay" needing my account info to "update" their system. I forwarded the email to the real eBay and they said that it was someone trying to steal my shit... assholes dont know how to earn an honest living...

    That is a scam. I've been getting it too for a year. You wouldn't believe how many thousands of people have fallen for it (according to Clark Howard). It looks real.

    no this wasn't an email w/ a link... they said 'YOUR MUTHA FUCKN ACCT IS LOCKED THIS IS WHY'... i open a new window http://www.ebay.com , try to login... SORRY FUCKER YOUR ACCT IS LOCKED CONTACT [email protected]

    i had to sit w/ their online support today to get everything unlocked... :jerkit: it has nothing to do w/ a scam email... someone actually was able to get my login and start posting shit... (actually its my wifes acct, but i use it) but either way i don't think i'm the only one b/c this was out of no where... its just wierd ebay caught the shit... they caught it before i did. no emails were even sent to me regarding listings, so they were that quick which was good but seems fishy like they were hacked or something and not saying anything.
