Default Re: eBay warning, please read

As far as I know....The way a Ebay crook scams you is by sending you a fake message that looks like it is from Ebay...You then click on it's link and give them your password because you think you are merely logging onto Ebay. All of the scam emails they send you look perfect except a real ebay email also includes the real name you signed up under in addition to your Ebay user name. Ebay tells and tells people about this but paople still fall for it . If you think a message is from Ebay....simply go to Ebay all on your own, log on and go to your account. If it was real it will be there. If it was a scam it won't be there. If everyone did this the scammers would not be able to highjack the accounts. I am amazed that people blame Ebay when in reality they were not dealing with Ebay at all. They were just interacting with someone that simply copied a Ebay page and found a fish to fall for it.
