Help- How to I report an ebay fraud scam?
So, I get this email with this link that takes me to a FAKE login: (DO NOT ENTER YOUR EBAY INFO THERE...USE FAKE INFO TO SEE WHERE IT TAKES YOU)
http://61.11.97.207/alfa/eBayISAPI.p...ad=b&box=Trash
How do I report this? It came in an email telling me my account was hacked.

Usually it is a good idea to report it to ebay. Also, if you can track down the isp it originated from (Sam Spade is your friend!), you should send a copy of the email to postmaster@ .
whee.. more phishing scams.

I just got played on ebay for a JL Audio amp. Turns out the seller had previously won on ebay for an amp that didn't work. The guy just recycled the pictures from the old auction even. In hindsight:
1. Go through Paypal only.
2. Check the seller's feedback, plus any feedback left for others.

you sent a check?
did you put a stop payment on it?
uhm... dood.. once you send a check, it's much harder to get that money back. Stick to paypal. The "couldn't cash the money" this is total and utter bull. There should be NO reason a legit paypal account can't be withdrawn from. That should have been your first sign. Hope ebay can get your money back.
