someone just tried to use my ebay account to sell some cell phones , thank god E-BAY was aware of it, they shut down my account right away whew! unbelieveable how someone can use your account without you knowing, thats pretty scary stuff, i did not respond to any e-mails asking me to tell them my account info or anything, makes me wonder how they did it , they assured me that my credit card info was safe, but it's a scare nun-the less
They either sniffed the password off of your internet connection or the have a keylogger/password stealer on your PC or, you have an email from "eBay" that really wasn't from ebay. They sent you a link saying blah blah blah your account blah blah login/change your info or risk your account being disabled. So you click on the link that goes to a copied eBay page and login < They now have your info. All seems well until you see cell phones up for sale under your account. Beware, change any online account password you have right now. PayPal is also a big target for Phishing attacks.
