Cyber thieves have added a new twist to their fraudulent auctions. When you pull up one of their auctions, a box will pop up making it look like you have lost your connection and ask that you sign in again. NEVER use that box. They have also masked some of the features. Example - if you click on "report this item", instead of taking you to the Ebay Help screen where you can report the fraudulent auction, an email message box will appear. There will also be lots of blank space at the bottom of the auction. Anytime a link to an Ebay feature does not take you to that feature, write the auction number down and go to your My Ebay page and use the Contact Ebay feature from there to report the auction. Using any link in an auction that takes you out of Ebay can be very risky.
