Again, probably information that you already know a lot about, but I would recommend at least skimming it, until you get to the part where I talk about calling the people who had their account information compromised on the eBay boards the other night.
Excellent work Firemeg. I feel so sorry for those people, they must be having a nightmare of a time contacting their financial providers and trying to work out if the damage has already been done.
I really feel for them and I can imagine how devastating it must be to have someone call you and quote your financial details to you because they've just been posted on eBay.
But eBay contacted none of them ... you really would have thought that would be a top priority.
All I can say is that I hope the banks etc which look after these people's accounts have advised them to sue eBay for whatever is missing, for any expense involved in changing details such as phone numbers etc, for the clear danger caused by the posts remaining on the forums and for any distress they may have suffered.
It's for eBay to sort out, not other people but will eBay take responsibility?
In this case, failure to notify these individuals may force them to do so.
This is full blown identity theft.
Sue, sue, sue. |

Sure.. technical translation goes like this:
trece = can be walking, like, 'trece omul' = 'man goes by','man walking' (where omul = man,human)
si = and
asta = this
A translation would go like.. it will pass..
To get a better understanding, what he/she meant by posting in those listings this phrase that the auction will get listed and it will pass the fraud filters. Hope you understood. |

Vladuz-
So you are saying there ARE fraud filters? I was under the impression they were a myth. |

No problem.
FireMeg, I really am curious about something... how many visitors did you had to your sites on december and how many do you have now? And why are you posting links to your sites on romanian blogs? |

I don't know the numbers for December, I don't keep track. I've had a total of 11,000 page impressions on all firemeg related sites since the beginning of November. That includes forum, site and blog. I'm averaging only 2 pages per visit, so...about 1500 visitors or so a month. Not many.
I don't remember specifically posting to a Romanian forum. Sometimes when I'm bored I go over the recent Google News and Blogs for eBay and post things to blogs and news stories that appear there.
btw - how do we know you aren't just an eBay employee posing as Vladuz? You don't seem to be, but if eBay was going to try that, they wouldn't want it to be obvious. After all, eBay Inc.'s companies are frequent visitors to sites like mine and pheebay. |

Vladuz,
Maybe I could ask you this, since you seem to be the residant most knowledgable in getting around undetected.
I was NARU'd at eBay last month. Still don't know why.
OK, so I wanted to get a new ID just so I could do some buying. I downloaded a program called Torpark that runs your internet thru several proxies so eBay wouldn't be able to connect the new ID with my computer. I set-up a new Gmail account just for this ID. I only logged in once or twice to set-up a search for the item I want. All this was done on Tuesday.
Last nite I get a NARU on that ID. Same garbage "abuse of eBay" nonsense reason.
So is Torpark no good as a proxie or what. I don't know how they could have put the 2 accounts together when I haven't even used this new one yet.
I also don't get how some idiot users like the one in Firemegs blog account can keep setting up new accounts without them linking all the old accounts.

Oh come on now, don't let me break up the party.
There were 11 people hanging around - I think that is enough for a party.
Firemeg - want to go first. Who are you anyways other than a slamming name against someone else.
 When doc asked for signers to the petition to fire meg, I was not clear exactly who that was for.
And when eb@y wants to go after Microsoft and Yahoo, well I am led to believe that maybe they make up the 45,000 third party employees.
And Adobe is now working on the gif issue for their Apollo software.
And Vladuz..... let's see if you can chat with me here like you do other places. It could be a rather delightful conversation. Are you done checking the profile?
So come on pass me another cup of coffee.  |

| I'm not anyone worthy of mention. Anyone who emails me sees my name in the return email. Anyone wanting to dig could probably find out everything about me. Nothing exciting...I'm not a disgruntled former employee of eBay, and I'm not a jilted former lover of Meg Whitman either......oh, oooh, best not to think about such things. |

Carol,
First of all, it's not a good idea to use Tar or any other program that changes your public ip (the one eBay receives) with ebay or paypal. If they see 20 ip's using an ebay account (tar changes ip's very fast) they consider it a suspicious activity and boom.
And did they NARU'd you for false contact information or general abuse of eBay?
Also, make sure you use track eraser (google it)
Or they may have picked your account randomly. They do that sometimes when they're bored. |
