EBAYERS BEWARE! EBAY is DEEP with scammers and hackers right now. Don't be fooled! These hackers are getting into unsuspecting ebayers accounts by taking advantage of naive or misinformed ebayers. Don't let them do it! BE INFORMED!
The new/or maybe not so new scam I found today is probably going to hurt A LOT of honest ebay members. Large priced items are being listed for almost NOTHING, with FREE shipping. Yes, we've all see these items. Sewing machines, iPods, mp3 players, tv's, tractors, loaders, boats, atvs, horse trailers.....their list expands HOURLY. But now, when you look at the listing, instead of asking you to contact them at their special email address OUTSIDE of ebay, they have embedded a 'message' page for you to fill out to contact them! DON'T DO IT! You will unknowingly be HANDING your information to these HACKERS, and they will get into your accounts and HACK your computer. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give your information out this way! Their 'new' page asked for 'Email Address', 'Ebay User ID', a place to insert a 'question', and then a 'send message' button for you to hit. All of it is not only against Ebay's Policies, but will truly get you into A LOT of havic later.
Good luck, and let's all try to make Ebay a SAFE HARBOR again.
