J.A.W. Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I keep getting spoof eBay e-mails, about three or four a week. Already got two today... Hans, until recently you used your email address as user name on Ebay. That's where they got it from. Also from users who show it on their auction page. That's why I changed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 (edited) I keep getting spoof eBay e-mails, about three or four a week. Already got two today... Hans, until recently you used your email address as user name on Ebay. That's where they got it from. Also from users who show it on their auction page. That's why I changed it Well, I received a spoof mail without having displayed my email address publicly. So it must have been misused or forwarded by a ebay user I was in contact with, or there is a leak within Ebay.

Shrdlu Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I posted this ahwile back, but about 6 months ago, a hacker got into my eBay account and the email address which I was using for eBay. As they changed the email password, I lost that email address. I'm glad that I did not use that email address for anything but eBay. But I am enjoying the 200 soup bowls that the hacker bought using my eBay ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should open a soup kitchen or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
