To begin with, actions to undertake immediately:

1. Look if/when your account has been charged for the amount you _think_ 
you have paid.

2. If you have been charged for exactly the same amount, look to whom it 
has gone. You still can do that in the States, can't you?

3. Send an email to the seller explaining him you might be (you are 
actually) victim of Internet fraude. Email him by means of the Ebay web 
interface, then at least you'll be sure you'll go to the right person.

4. If you have been charged for _exactly_ the same amount, next Monday, 
after the week-end, go to your bank office to check in situ whether the 
money has gone to the seller or not.
If it is right, then you are sure the message you got NOW is a hoax.

As I told, reply immediately and explain about possible Internet fraud.

No, that has nothing to do with Ebay, it is the first step, repeat, THE 
FIRST STEP, of a possible fraud.

Dunno exactly, but it might be about a simple virus attached to the 
message, it might be a camouflage, while in the Internet Exploder an 
other hidden window opens itself.

No, You should inform Ebay formaly about an attemt to Internet fraude, 
using the Ebay name. You even should consider to put a foemal complaint 
at a police office.

Don, pardon me, but you must be a bit more carefull with what you are 
clicking on:

signin.compuserve.ebay.com


has nothing to do with Ebay, NOTHING AT ALL.

Think twice before acting.

Don, a professional crook knows he can't charge accounts of simple human 
beings for hundreds of thousands at once. So he act cunningly in little 
steps hoping you won't noitce the disappearance of small sums each time.

And please, remember, as I have told already, this has nothing to do 
with Bayad press as it had nothing to do with Intellihome (the one 
without hyphen). For, if it would have happened in Paris, your account 
would have been charged in euro, and your own bank then should have 
transformed the euro in USD.

Anyway, what I don't understand is, you told me last week you've blocked 
your account. If so, why is it it still can be charged?

Anyway, as it stands now,

1. YOU MUST GO IMMEDIATELY to the nearest police office and put a formal 
complaint.
2. Using telephone or whatever, TODAY, BLOCK ANY ACCOUNT you have. It is 
already to late, so you can't afford to sit still and wail till tomorrow.
