Subject: RE: BS: Ebay update/reregister Scam???
BE WARNED. A friend went to buy a car through E bay, and was just about to put money through the normal pay system, but on second thoughts decided she would like to have a quick look at it first, also had a few question to ask about the car, she contacted the owner, who immediately said don't make payment because her account had been hijack and any payment made would not get to her but to the hijacker.

This was / is been investigated, but what a lucky escape.

I thought this was a safe site to use, but now would think twice about sending any money without first contacting the seller direct.


I to have been informed that i needed to update my account, but havent done so, and wont be in the near future.
