cheers, "Dirt Track Doug" in So. New York,
Right on! Let's git em!
The sad part is many people fall for the scam and the next thing they know,
there's an electronic transfer out of their account into someone else's. My
buddy had it happen but he just happened to check his account on-line and saw
the pending transfer and stopped it. He did report it and the guy was nabbed
in Florida. That's pretty stupid to be a scammer and get a transfer into your
own account! I thought these hackers were smarter!
I forgot to mention the recurring E-bay scam where a hacker e-mails you and
inquires why you haven't paid for an item and he's about ready to report you
to the e-bay cops and get you suspended from E-Bay! The e-mail comes on a
scam copy of the normal buyer/seller format about asking a question. It gives
you the item number with a convenient icon as usual to go to the item
directly.
You see the "normal" E-Bay log-in screen asking you for your handle and
password. SOP. The only thing is it has directed you to the scammers site. You
can spot these like other scams as the address it goes to after clicking the
icon isn't an e-bay site. I see them all the time and I "go along with it"
except when asked for my handle and password, I enter something like "scammers
will die" for the handle and something cute like "F%$# you asshole" in the
password.
Oddly, it will actually take you to the item on e-bay but they already have
your info, if you fell for it. This is how the scammer sellers get your
password so they can use your account to list fraudulent items or use it to
list
their legitimate items,,, on your nickel!!!
Just goes to show you, nowadays being street smart moves into your living
room!
