They stole the accounts and passwords from people who, trustingly, responded to a wave of scam e-mails, over the last 6 months, that looked like legitimate e-bay communications....logo and everything.

These e-mails provided a link that asked people to "VERIFY THEIR ACCOUNT INFO" including passwords, SSN's, credit card numbers, etc. E-bay continuously warns people that they will NEVER, EVER, EVER, ask for that type of info. in an e-mail. Yet, people keep falling for it.

Anyone who did that, not only had their e-bay account hijacked, they may have be in a world of other hurt due to identify theft. So, these scammers have been purchasing this info from a larger and more dangerous ring of thieves.

I know it's fun to play with them sometimes, but e-mail them at your own peril.
