Ebay scam?

JoshHamilton · Mar 3, 2010

Tried to log in to Ebay to check some completed listings and it took me to a page that said something about security and asked for all kinds of credit card and other personal info

What the hell? I made sure that I typed in www.ebay.com. Are they really trying to get all my personal info just to sign in?

You may want to check to see if your computer has a virus redirecting you somehow.

I trust that it's a scam, I just don't have the time to figure out how it could possibly be when I was on Ebay's official website.

At what point does ebay become financially liable for someone getting their personal info stolen ON THEIR OWN WEBSITE?

humm, the URL is valid though.

I still wouldn't enter any info, call Topps and see what's up.

It is probably a IE browser hijack on your computer that is playing tricks with the info IE is displaying. Notice the overlaying continue button.

Ding! Correct. You have a browser hijack (probably running in the form of an add-on) that is overlaying fake prompts and images.

If you are running a 32-bit version of Windows XP, google a program called COMBOFIX.

Download and run COMBOFIX. It's free.

It will cure what ails you. Don't believe me? Google it...

exact same thing happened to me today - I had 3 trojans hijacking me and there was no pleasure

This is one that I get that is legit. The end of yours looks different for sure.
I remember a few months ago something like this happened to Apple's store site.

For malware and browser hijacks it certainly is.

no, it isn't a fix all

There isn't a single program out there that is, and there never will be.

Totally agree with you, Chris. There will never be a fix all and I never made such a claim.

However, as this used to be my profession for several years, I can say with a good amount of certainty that COMBOFIX will solve our friend's ebay scam problem.

For the majority of infected computers I've worked with COMBOFIX did the job without the assistance of any other programs. Did I ever come across infections that wouldn't go away? Sure, but that is why you reference the log file with google for the tricky ones.
