Before you make a purchase on eBay or any other online auction website...make sure you know where your money is going. It appears someone has hacked into eBay's servers. One minute you're on eBay's site...the next, you've been automatically redirected to a bogus web page. Be leery of anyone who demands you wire them cash through Western Union or your bank...and pay close attention to the url and seller's name.
Monday, I found a useful article about protecting yourself from online auction scams (that includes eBay) on scambusters.org (http://www.scambusters.org/Scambusters43.html)
If you're having any doubt whether an email is really from eBay, here's how to report it:
1. Forward the message to spoof@ebay.com
2. Don't alter the subject line or forward the message as an attachment - doing so prevents us
from investigating it further.
3. Once you have forwarded the email, you can then delete it from your email account.
