CAREFUL~!! eBay scammers at WORK

[The Compiler]

I got this email today and if YOU got one, forward the whole email to spoof@ebay.com (I did). The fake ebay address below will take you to a site called "interpro2-test.com". This is where they will STEAL the billing information which YOU would have provided....if ya didn't know better.
BE CAREFUL and remember this a criminal USING eBay LOGOS and innocent LOOKING hyperlinks as a tool.....not a reason for you to say "this is why I dont use ebay". This like a Nigerian bank scam...a criminal act. BE CAREFUL~!!

yeah the same thing happened to me. not only that but someone managed to hack into and destroy my email address figured out my ebay password and then went ahead and got caught using my ebay name to sell dodgy merchandise. It was a total nightmare. i had all my auctions that were running cancelled - had to get a new email address.
No idea what happened to whoever it was who got caught [img]AR15firing.gif[/img] [img]AR15firing.gif[/img]

I get one of these per week, give or take. I don't even have a Paypal account but I frequently get Paypal scams, too.
