eBay Redirect Scam Caught On Screen Video!

Yep.. Watch as i am redirected from eBay to a hacked website containing an exact mirror copy of an eBay Motors listing!

To slow the speed of the redirect down i used my Blackberry as an IP Modem to capture the scam in motion on video.

eBay has not fixed this redirect since at least 2006 when the US-CERT issued this warning!

There are also several redirect articles with full screen captures I published going back at least 4 years ago in my scam archive.

This happened to me once with IE6. What;s happening is your browser is hijacked. This is not ebays fault, it is a security flaw in IE. I would use a different browser or delete and reinstall fresh.

Wrong, it redirected FireFox 3.X as well. And very well could have been an inside job.

eBay has a responsibility to their users to provide a Safe Platform. There is a link to the US-CERT posting about this problem in the more info section of this video.

Maybe you should put a link to the report at auctionbytes so viewers can see ebaY's disingenuous, uncaring reply.

Also, folks should search for & read: "eBay's phishy old problem

The Register.

Apparently ebaY couldn't care less about your safety, and has been proving that fact over and again for YEARS!.

very interresting

[ebaymotorssucks]

Yes it is. I got an email from someone that bank wire transferred $15k to an eBay agent (money mule) that fell for a work from home scam. That person kept 10% for their fee and wired the rest on to someone else.

Scammers will rinse the money several times before it gets to them. And most of them are in Europe.

Nice work! That's another reason why all of us are using OA Marketplace in the future, the auction without the eBay motors fees and without the strong draw for eBay haters to break it down.

it also changed from a bid to buy it now

Im also noticing a lot of scam artists listing good products for a low price, their feedback rating will say 100% positive but when you go to check the ratings and comments there won't be any there...

People, b4 bidding or buying something on ebay take the time to go thru the sellers feedback. i just caught a scammer who was selling multiple p90x items (and only 1 left) and had 100% positive feedback. since it was to good to be true i took the time to check his feedbacks and notice that he had just subscribed yesterday yet had 33 positive feedbacks with the same date and saying the same thing! i saved the item on my watch list and checked again and it said seller no loner a user! watch out!!

has anybody brought a part from autopartswholesaler on ebay, i wonder if thats a scam

[paulspydar]

NO script & adblock plus will give you a warning & halt any redirect within firefox until the user either clicks allow or deny, unfortunately it as far as I know does not work with I.E but I don't use I.E any way..Interesting vid though
