Currently a lot emails use faked letters from ebay or paypal or big banks to steal your password. A simple way to protect ourselves is that do not use the links from email even it is a real mail from ebay or paypal. tt -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tt688688=yahoo.com.sg@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tt688688=yahoo.com.sg@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of John D. Sluss Sent: 2007 03 20 22:46 To: leica users group Subject: [Leica] OT: eBay Yesterday,19 March 07 a DMR and a R8 with a DMR were advertised for 1,000 GBP (2,000 US) each. The individual "selling" the items refused to accept bids, rather he wanted to be contacted by e-mail. Needless to say it was a scam. The "seller" had a 99.1% positive responses with about 1,000 sales. I believe that someone had gotten a hold of this persons eBay sellers password and was using his site for the scam. The items were only listed for 24 hours. An eBay confirmation was sent from a msn address. I wish it were true because I really want a DMR but alas.
