Some Jerk Tried to Steal My Ebay Account
September 11th, 2006 · Posted in Uncategorized · 2 CommentsI got an email saying that my request to change email accounts was cool and that all further mail would be sent to the new address. That’s cool. Except I didn’t change email address!
Thanks to Emma K. from eBay who helped me get it back with a minimum of fuss.
The moral: keep an eye on your accounts, people can try and steal ‘em. Also, eBay has a good system to fix problems.

That’s really scary. Do you have any idea how someone managed to change your account in the first place?

No idea at all. I don’t click on links in emails, so it can’t have been from there.
I didn’t have any credit card details or anything in there, so I’m not too worried – plus the address/phone number was out of date too, so they didn’t get any personal information either.
