Cool ***WARNING TO ALL EBAY USERS***

Hi Scoobyneters, this is a warning to all ebay users. If you see adverts of ladies posing by motorbikes or cars etc in any of the multiple adverts on Ebay U.K or another Ebay site don't click them ( they are hackers) as they are a carbon copy of the Ebay site icluding logo etc, because our Ebay account was hacked and 2 cars were almost sold ( Jaguar XK8 and Vauxhall VX 220 to be exact ) please spread the message to all of the Ebay users you know. I'm trying to stop this scam from happening throughout. Hope you all had a lovely day.

I'm worried a user will buy a car such as one of them in my first message or something different and possibly leave you in a really bad situation.

send out 100,000 spam emails from www.ebay.com or www.paypal.com (examples) about a survey\password has expired\bank detail maintenence... you are gonna get at least a couple hundred of people following the emails.. especially when they look EXACTLY like normal ebay ones.

Unfortunately thats enough to make a quick bit of cash... not everyone is as aware\alert to scammers

Personally, i delete anything asking me for info and never trust a site without the security stuff..
