ANOTHER Ebay scam??!!

[always quiet]

I swear, these last 3 days, I have had either viruses show up in my mailbox or now, another apparent ebay scam!! This letter tells me that someone is trying to "corrupt" my user account and there is a link for me to click to verify my information. It's getting so I hate to go into my mail anymore.

Why, after having a computer for 2 years, am I all of a sudden getting so many emails attempting to give me a virus?? Doesn't make any sense!

After the problems the DIS had during the summer, I decided to activate a yahoo account. I've been on there for many years and never did it.

It's great, because all my DIS (the important stuff, LOL) goes to that account and my other web based email gets most of the junk. By using a web based email, I'm able to pick and choose what gets downloaded onto my machine. I've told friends not to send attachments, just send links...so if I see that paperclip, I know it's not from anyone I know.

I have an address through my ISP, too, but the only ones with that one is my son's teachers.

Having three accounts makes it easier for me...yeah, I have to check three accounts, but if someone tries to send me a virus, I have an idea of where it's coming from!

We just got and ebay scam the other day. They wanted us to verify membership and asked for our password...

It had all kinds of ebay logos and other stuff pasted into it, but you could tell right away that it wasn't professional. My dh sent it to ebay who wrote back right away and said it was not from them.... Do people have nothing better to do today then try to get our password and do what with it?? Go bid on a bunch of auctions??

what a pain!!!
