Re: [Evolver] Am I being scammed?

2006-05-13 by Bernie Kornowicz

My eBay account was recently hijacked by some scumbag. I got a 
suspicious "Question from eBay member" email. When I hovered over 
the links, I found they all pointed to a Russian website. I reported 
it to eBay and found that the expletive deleted was selling items 
under my account. Caught them just in time, but if you're not 
careful, you could get screwed.
