More curious facts - email address lists of scammers


Now just how efficient is the ebay security staff?

Do they know how to conduct a quick blog search for things like:

vldpower1@gmail.com

for instance?

If you follow links from that blog, do you get the sense that someone at ebay may have/could have/should have known about those email lists in the blog?

Just how good is ebay's software, that it can find phrases like "fee hike", but not all these addresses? (a-z)

How many more of those email addys are on the list of the addies in that blog?

Thanks for posting the links to The Nekkid Truth blog and to The Nekkid Truth message board. Just an FYI, but all of the email addresses and fake domains on the blog were found on eBay. None of the email addresses are from "the list". All of the email addresses and fake domains were found in listings on hijacked accounts or on accounts that were created with the intent to defraud.  Presently, there are over 9700 email addresses and fake domains listed on the blog.  That list grows hourly.

Can eBay find these email addresses and bookmarked phrases on its own? Certainly, it can. But, for whatever reasons, it does not do it unless members report the accounts or listings via webform or to Live Help.

Also, OP, I am not quite sure what you are referring to in your last question. Perhaps, it is rhetorical.

And, yes, eBay is well aware that the blog and message board exist, and to my knowledge, eBay employees in certain departments do access both and use the information accordingly.

If I can answer any questions, I will be happy to. We do accept information and leads and add the information to the blog and the message board. if anyone wishes to submit email addresses or fake domains for publication on the blog, I can be contacted via the blog at the email address in the upper left hand corner.
