Thieves hack into eBay listings

www.mirror.co.uk report that crooks are hacking into hundreds of

eBay listings for luxury items such as cars, jewellery and artwork.

The method they use is to hack into sellers accounts and edit the

Listings to edit the contact details and change them to a private

e-mail address which offers the item at a knock down Buy It Now Price.

It is not known how much this scam has netted the crooks but it

Is feared that hundreds of buyers have been effected. To read the
