VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: ebay users beware Author: claire [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:38:41 10/21/09 Wed Author Host/IP: 74-141-211-46.dhcp.insightbb.com/74.141.211.46 I was contacted through my email account through my carrier about 2 months ago with an email that I thought was ebay and it is actually an attempt to steal your info, here is how it works, the email actually looks like the ebay website but the catch is they ask you to log onto your account through the email and that is when they get your account info, I contacted ebay myself and sent them a copy of the email and its called spoof mail, they contacted me back, ebay will never contact you like that asking for your info if any doubt go to ebay.com sign on and check your messages then if you have been contacted through that email then its legit, if not your trying to be ripped off. So please be careful everyone has to watch especially with the holidays around the corner. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: ebay scam Author: Stephanie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:56:26 10/22/09 Thu Author Host/IP: dsl7-p236.intrstar.net/66.207.242.236 I got one of those about a month ago. It claimed that I had sold them video game system for $500 and never shipped it. It claimed that they had filed a paypal claim and I needed to repsond. When you clicked it took you to paypal site that you had to log into. I backed out and forwarded the email to both ebay and paypal who both said they were a scam. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
