Exclamation EBay WARNING!!!!

Twice in the last 2 days I've gotten e-mails claiming to be from EBay , sending me to a 'Ebay site' where they asked me for my CC number , pin number ,SSN , password , etc.
I checked with the real Ebay , and they said that both are fakes and not to rely to them.
Beware fellow Blue Ovals , don't trust anyone with your info!
Keep on truckin' (and be safe)

Thumbs down Thanks.

Well I see that I'm not the only one. The way I figure it, if somebody wants that kind of info, it has to be some kind of scam. Good companies don't ask for that kind of information over E-mail. at least none that I have delt with..

Unfortuently, this is very common, and many people will fall for these scams.

I just got another E-mail with the same link asking for personal info! The 3rd one in less than a week!

Maybe we should have our own 'Swap Shop'.





I don't need your attitude .....
I already have my own.

Thumbs up Great Idea

I like that Idea. Maybe Ken would get somthing going in a seperate area for members only. I does have some possibilities, and good ones too.

Exclamation Our own Swap Shop - Classifieds vs EBay

It was pointed out to me that there is already a Classified
section.
I checked it out and it's not bad , but I think it needs broken down more like the forums and needs a moderator.
Registered members only to buy , sell or even view to help keep out the scam artists.






I can't be overdrawn , I still have checks left

Registered to sell yes!
But on a mustang forum that I'm involved with I have sold 2 mustangs in their classified section to non-members.

Members to purchase, I wouldn't want that. After all people don't get my stuff unless I get their money!

A 'Buy - Sell - Trade' area for members only , (give each other a bit of a break) , and then what-ever in the open sell area.
If I had extra 400 engine parts , I'd sell them a bit cheaper to other registered folks here.
