Scary Stuff

I have a scary story to share with everyone. Tuesday, Romeo couldn't get into his Hotmail account. Apparently, his password wouldn't work. He tried all day at work to resolve the problem and eventually was locked out altogether. When he got home he logged onto Ebay only to find that his Ebay password wouldn't work either. Long story short...someone hacked into his Ebay and Hotmail accounts and changed the passwords. He or she then listed five Coach handbags under Romeo's Ebay account as "buy it now" auctions. Needless to say, there were no Coach handbags, and the money (had someone purchased the bags) would have gone into the hacker's account, but it would have shown up as Romeo Brinkley. Thankfully, he contacted Ebay before a transaction had gone through and was able to get the auctions pulled. BEWARE!!! Keep a close watch on all your online accounts. There are some rotten folks out in cyberspace!
