I had my ebay account suspended because somehow, some little bugger listed a ton of camera gear under my name. Fortunately, ebay let me know what was up, and everything has been corrected. If you start to recieve a lot of official looking ebay emails, don't click on any links. They think that's how my account was compromised. The ebay people were very helpful.

I get at least 2-3 spoof emails a week, I can't believe people are like that

Money is a strong motivation factor.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I was involved with something like that when I was a bit younger. It's all good until the lawyers or feds catch up with ya. Luckily, mine was the former.

I'm just glad I'm not in it anymore, the fines are a lot bigger and you can actually get jail time now.

rpoz-29: Yep, those e-mails look good, but always check the URL on them, unless it starts with "http://www.ebay.com" in your address bar, it's a phoney. This goes for AOL, bank, stock, paypal, or anything else that has a password and costs money.
