    I must get one a fortnight. I wish comebody would nail the Barstewards.</p>

    From ebay supposedly, with all the logos and everything. It's a pity they can't spell &quot;capital&quot; or &quot;which&quot;, and of course the fact that no professional organisation would use the expression &quot;or else&quot;. - Oh, and the fact that I do not operate an ebay account from that email address. Apart from that it could be fairly convincing. [​IMG]</p>

    I have reported them to ebay who

    have confirmed they are fraud and not to reply.</p>

    But they use all ebay's logos, and i'm surprised they don't have 'em tracked down and sorted. Surely there must be clues to who and where they are.</p>

    Hacking into Paypal accounts....

    In a similar vein i've had problems with my Paypal account - some twit from Romania had tried to access into it on three occasions and i was asked if i'd been to Romania or had any transactions related to that country. Apparently, it's Romania and Nigeria that is the worst countries in relation to fraud on the internet.

    Go to My Ebay, then on the left hand side you will see My Account and Personal Information. Click on that.
