i got an email claiming to be from ebay...and it wasn't.
I'm sure many of you have seen this type of thing they're looking for your user id password credit card everything

i looked at the root of their site and it seems they got multiple scams going on..click the link above.

sorry if this has been posted before....i reported this site to the fbi via their site i encourage you to do the same.

whats messed up is people probably get taken by this and lose alot :(

I've know some pretty smart people who fell for that stuff too.

If you get busy and you want to take care of business, you can fall into that trap easy.  I know a lot of people who do ebay and know very little about the internet.  They just love shopping.
