Re: WARNING - PayPal Scam

Thats not nice to post that whois data! The poor women listed there has probably had her credit card details stolen and used to register the domain name, she wont know anything about it.

In ebay - I don't think so! The only thing that I can see this little kid in China doing is playing on the auctions, winning the goods and not paying for it, and leaving you with several shed-loads of negative feedback

There are many things you can do with a stolen ebay account. Say I steal an ebay account with a feedback of +350 positive feedback.. Then I list an item for sale at a bargain price of £1500 even though it retails at £5000... How many people will buy it, send money and then never recieve the item..... Yet they bought from someone with 100% positive feedback...

Be careful out there :)

Re: WARNING - PayPal Scam

I know someone in the USA who had her "identity" stolen and spam emails etc were sent out as if they had come from her. A "gang" of recipients blamed her and made her life a misery with the result that she ended up having a nervous breakdown. :(

Re: WARNING - PayPal Scam

It is very easy to spoof an email address. I could send you an email from Roy telling you how much he loves you :D

Re: WARNING - PayPal Scam

Simple spoofing will eventually be phased out though as more and more domain administrators and servers are setup with SPF (sender policy framework). I still haven't done it for most of my domains but I will eventually get around to it! :)
