Re: EBAY SCAM

[Gary Mercer <invisix@drizzle.com>]

Yeah, I get that crap ALL the time. Even on email addresses which I don't 
have registered with eBay. Although they are different than the one you 
mentioned.

This one you mentioned seems to maybe use an Internet Explorer bug which 
allows the "hacker" to exploit the eBay cookie to steal the eBay members 
password.

BTW, all the eBay hack etempts = Internet Explorer exploit only. 
Their stealing of passwords, etc won't work on Mozilla, Netscape, Lynx, 
The Wave, or any other web browser. :)
