I am usually aware of these things and all of the other scams, but one
caught me off guard a while back but I was able to change my password
before anything happened. I was pretty ashamed of myself when I realized
what happened and it was very clever and one I havent seen before..
I listed a bunch of stuff on Ebay and after the auctions ended I got an
Ebay email which opened up like the typical inter-Ebay type correspondence
we've all seen before. I answered the email and realized that it was a
phishing email after I sent the reply.. I then logged in and changed my
password and all was ok but if I didn't realize it, I would have been
jammed..

Hi Dave, I did not see your ad, but might be interested in your Orion II.
I live in Nashville and my Brother lives in Knoxville on the east side.
What filters do you have or anything else with the xcvr? 73 Don n4zz

Subject: Warning on eBay
I have listed my Orion II twice on eBay for sale and both times the
reserve
was not met. However, both times, serious bidders have received fake
offers
via email to purchase the Orion at a reduced price from thieves posing as
the owner of the rig.
I will have the rig at the Ten Tec hamfest September 30 for anyone
wishing
to purchase it. Price is $3,600.
Use extreme caution when bidding on eBay or listing items to sale. I
have
sent eBay Security copies of the fake offers both times but just received
a
"canned" email back from them on how to avoid problems in using their
service.
