No, I get them all the time, but being the naturally suspicious fellow that I am, I have never fallen for one of them, and send them immediately to [email protected] , so I can't imagine in this day and age of crooks, thieves, and con artists on the internet, that anyone in their right mind falls for that CRAP!! and wondered whether there was another way that these hijackers were lifting peoples passwords. Bruce Bruce, I had my eBay identity AND password hijacked recently and someone used it to put a bunch of Mercedes, Jaguars and Rovers up on eBay for sale by ......me! I still haven't figured out how they would benefit from this. But I was told by eBay that you don't even have to click on the links given on the phishing site for them to find your password. You just have to OPEN a phishing email for them to gain that information. I certainly don't understand how they can do that. I'm opening fewer emails now! ---Art Heller ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com From [email protected] Wed Oct 24 12:17:20 2007 From: [email protected] (BruceY) Date: Wed Oct 24 12:16:41 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] Record Price for Edison Army-Navy??
