I'm not sure if this helps to block this kind of fraud, but I find it interesting that most attempted takeovers of accounts involve vehicles or motorbikes.
I ask the question to all forum members ... how many of us have had thier identity stolen in any way. I ask because there could be someone who at least "trolls" our forum for potential victims. It's just a thought.
Another thought. This delves into the personal and you folks out there don't have to answer.
I found that my hijacking directly coincided with my looking at a naughty ebay item. I wasn't interested with the auction per-se, but it did sport a nice shot of a magnificent ass, (hey, I'm an ass man, plain and simple).
When I clicked it, it took me off ebay and directly took me to some porn site. Since I don't look at that stuff anymore, I quickly got off it, as I hate all those porn pop-ups that are harder than hell to get rid of.
RIGHT after that, I lost access to not only my ebay, but my e-m ail. It took a week to clear it all up, and Ebay, since then, has done a good job of getting rid of the naughty links.
