Re: OT: Ebay asking for info???

and Karamax joe - I am just echoing your sentiments -

NEVER heard of a spoof being accessed directly through the Internet - only via a fake email....

Re: OT: Ebay asking for info???

No email was used whatsoever, nor was any link from any other website. I logged onto the internet, went to Ebay website, logged into my account, and poof, this screen came up. And I tried logging in several times. No word from Ebay Spoof yet. I'm thinking it might be a virus/spyware thing on my computer.

I just wish the perps, when caught, could really be made to suffer.

Have you read or heard about the people who call themselves "scam-baters"? NPR has done a few good stories about them, including one long story that I can't find a link to, in which some self-described computer geeks and scam-baters turned the tables on some African computer scammers - eventually convincing a couple of them to go to a dangerous area of another African country, where they ended up homeless and hungry, spending the little money they could beg on computer access to contact the people who they thought were going to make them rich, and one of the scammers even caught a bullet, as I recall. Grimly funny.
