Oh, so pi$$ed and ashamed at the same time... I got hooked yesterday for the first time, but didn't get reeled into the boat. I'm selling a motorcycle on ebay right now and if a bidder asks a question, they send you an email to respond. I got two legitemate questions and then a third. I thought nothing of it since I hadn't seen this one before and did the classic click to reply and logged into ebay on THEIR server. Noticed about 5 seconds too late......
Right to ebay I went to change my password. I hope they didn't have instant download capabilities of my info because they had my password for about 1.5 minutes untill I changed it.
