Default Be careful on ebay!!!!

Just thought id warn some people about security on ebay and hotmail accounts....
Someone sent me an email and when i opened it, they managed to get both my hotmail and ebay passwords so for the past few days i have been blocked out.

Today, i finally got back into hotmail after about fifty thousands emails to head office and found that some cock called Eduard Caspani (?!) who lives in Waltham Forest: Sucha dick - he put all this down in my account on the profile bit. has been buying Reading festival tickets and done about 10 people out of £200 AND has been buying things under my user name?!!!

I never thought security and passwords and stuff were important but believe me they are. Its taken me all day to sort out his mess and now ive lost all my emails, my email addresses and ive got loads of bad feedback from ebay.

Make sure your passwords are not obvious and no where where little sods can find them!!!

Yeah, it was saying i had unauthorised listings and they needed to confirm my ID, so i clicked - the link opened and it said about my user name and stuff to do with my email. I didnt put any details in but they've completely buggered up the account and i cant get into it but im still receiving loads of emails asking about when peoples goods are going to arrive?!
