EBAY REDIRECT PHISHING SCAMS MULTIPLY
************************************************************
The hackers and scammers continue to get through ebaY's
bad coding and
subvert
the site. The redirect
schemes are going on both ebaY Motors and
In addition to the ebaY Motors scam we previously reported
on, a second
information
(phishing) scam is prevalent on ebaY. Usually
the victim is
lured in by a scantily clad woman, on a listing where
such an image is
entirely inappropriate. Often when a user tries to report
the listing, or
clicks on something in the listing, a pop up appears
asking them to log in
to
ebaY. The victim fills out the
information in the pop up, and this info
goes right to the scammer who now has access to the
persons complete ebaY
Protect yourself, and your friends and family. Never
input your info in a
pop
up, only through your normal access links. Block
pop ups, block flash,
block JavaScript, especially on ebaY. If the listing
requires pre approval
to bid, and it sounds like a great deal - be suspicious.
As always, ebaY will only end items that are reported,
and sometimes not
even
then. They do not appear to
be doing anything to either fix their
coding,
or to monitor for these listings themselves. Their
big solution is
to
hide user IDs for buyer who bid over $200. All
that will do is help the
shill bidders - but what the heck - the higher the bid
the more ebaY makes,
so why do they care if the bidding is illegal.
