Anyone else fall victim to this?
Some ass in Italy sends me an email with an alleged problem with my account. I had just changed a few things, so I had no reason to think something was up. I replied with my personal information, and I then promptly noticed a 312.87 dollar charge on my account, taken by someone from an ATM in Italy. I figured out what I did wrong, contacted the bank, and I am all square now. The trouble is, the fokkers keep trying to get me to re-verify my stuff, so I can fall for it again... I know now the way to spot the difference between Ebay and an impersonator, so I am safe there...
Is anyone else having this trouble?
Cheers,
David
PS-- I did report them to both Ebay and the proper civil authorities...
