[Mccoypottery-talk] Ebay Spoof

[Betty]

Lisa, thank you for putting all these links here so handy for any one to 
use.
I have had my problems in the past with every virus, trojan and spyware and 
I try to be very careful and run scans frequently and have just hooked up a 
new computer.  I use www.ebay.com frequently to just go look for something 
or to price something and never type in my user name or go anywhere where 
they have my user name on the screen.  In the past 2 weeks I purchased 
something over Ebay and 3 different times I logged in with my user name to 
place a bet.  I got 3 of the spoof emails and they were sent about 2 minutes 
apart.  I sent them all to Spoof @ebay and they acknowledged them and said 
that they were indeed bad stuff.  Last time I had logged on and bid twice 
and I got 2 of the spoofs.  This makes me think that they are using 
something that is inbedded in the Ebay equiptment.  Betty from Ia.
