Gabriel Popa

recently my websites and my identity was hacked

I was a victim of internet atack , my identity and credit card info was stolen. Everything starting after I published my website www.creativezone.ro and www.transylvanikon.com . There was a link for PayPal payments and an E-Bay link to my e-bay gallery wich was empty . I just designed the website to have this feature , a direct link to my e-bay account. This was my critical point cuz from here somebody was able to see my real name and sent me a phishing e-mail to answer to an “unpayed” item disspute. I was so naive and I believed that is better to see whats the problem and why is related to me, what are his concernings,cuz I didn’t even started to sell on e-bay anything yet. But in the e-bay message my name was clearly nominated. The answering e-bay form was very tricky , they asked me to confirm again my identity with my card info . And I was so naive to fill all the info and send. In that moment I realised maybe is a fake message and site. But was too late. Anyway, be aware, do not put e-bay links on your website could be dangerous.

Thank you for your warning, many of us are naive with things on computers we havent come across before.

Hope everything is back to normal for you soon. Tai

always remember no matter what business you belong….banks,ebay,servers,insurance realstate no matter who WORDS OF ADVICE
business as such never send out anything to fill out…r click on a link to fill info…i never even open those…never ever…...if they need you to change your info (which is email they send out those tiefs).....businesses usualy will notify u by phone or email to cal them…Even on a phone…i will say i will call u back i woudnt give the first customer service any info…my phone has a caler id…and i will check if it is legit…

this is advice to anyone…
Sorry to hear u are victim..

I’m so sorry that happened to you, Gabriel. I’ve had people try to trick me that way, too, but I’m a mean, suspicious old lady and turned them in, instead. I turned them in to Paypal, to the US Justice system, and to my ISP.
There’s a button you can push on your email, everybody’s email has one, which gives the sender’s information. Copy that and add it to your phishing eMail when you send it off to Paypal, etc.. They tried to get me to check an E-Bay account, similar to yours.
Trustworthy people are trusting. Do not feel stupid or badly about yourself. These guys are professional computer thieves, and they are not like us. Sorry again to hear this happened to you. -=Dayonda
