My eBay ID(koolkid1976) was stolen once. eBay's stupid security gave them access to change my password by guessing what year I was born. I'm partially to be blamed too, because the year is in my ID.
They listed a few items and bid and won an item in a matter of a couple hours. I was able to re-gain control of my account, and got her name and address from the person she won the auction from. I contaced eBay who "could not discuss the results of the investigation" with me. I emailed the woman a couple times but got no response.
I was angry enough to consider sending here email viruses or mean letters to her home. But just let it go since I didn't lose any money.

Are some people stupid enough to give away their credit card numbers when answering spam ? Come on ! You get a message with some weird proposal to buy some Viagra (like I could use it ? Yeah right !) or some way to increase your p**** size (trust me guys, size doesn't matter... well, as long as it's not tooooo short !) from someone you cannot identify. You have to be f****** stupid to actually believe you are going to receive your order.
So, as long as some e-mail users are naive enough to buy that c***, we will continue to be harrassed by spam and I doubt there is any way to prevent it.
