NEW EBAY SCAM - Possibly related to TKBarger (or similar)
Ok, little background first - remember the TKBarger fraud from few threads ago? What made them so believable is that they had feedback from buyers stating that they bought watches (high end ones) and were ecstatic with their purchases. Of course, no real transactions ever took place - the selling account was hi-jacked, as well as numerous buyers accounts. This means information on many accounts was collected over time. Here's how (or at least, one of the methods): the seller has a particular watch on ebay. That listing is shamelessly copied and listed on ebay under a different user ID. Then, yet another user informs you that 'your listing was stolen' with a link to that listing. The link is partially real, but en route to the stolen listing, you go through a page (appearing to be real ebay page) where you have to log in. Bingo - they got your info.
