Wow, I consider myself pretty savvy when it comes to the web scams, but this is definitely a good one.
Thanks for the heads up!!

I replied to an e-mail from a "buyer" on ebay once. I gave my name and password thinking it was no big deal. Within a couple of hours I got a call from a computer seller on ebay asking me where I wanted the computer shipped.
"What".
"Yeah, your mailing address is in Taiwan, but I have a billing address in the states".

These guys had racked up $9K in charges in no time. Without that call I may have not known for some time later. It all ended well and now I know...

It's not a trick or a scam. He accidentally posted his own "MyEbay" link.

Corrected link is later in the thread.
