Some how some one got my password and listed a Sony video or computer under my name. I didn't realize it until I received several e-mails wanting to buy it outright. I sent copies of the e-mails to the fraud department and they verified that it was posted from some where out on the west coast (that's all they would tell me). I had to change my name and my password. I use paypall but it is set up on it's own bank account and their is never anymore then $20.00 in their unless I've made a more expensive purchase. Every once in a while I get a "survey" form "eBay" wanting my password and my credit card numbers with the pin numbers and I don't even open them I just hit the delete key. I've had them threaten to close my account because "someone is trying to use my account" and they need my help to catch them. I've had very good luck with eBay. I've only had one or two problems. One guy worked at Digitrax during the summer and stole a bounch of stuff from thier dead item room and sold it on eBay. I round robined every one that was buying or bidding on his stuff and told them about my being ripped off and as I got other complaints I added them to the list. I even got Zana (co-owner of Digitrax with her husband A J) into the mess. She didn't know about the theft until we informed her. He was cut-off eBay and Zana pressed charges. He got a probated sentence and lost his summer job with Digitrax. The up side to this was - I meet some darn nice people - I was even able to go see some nice layouts as three of the people lived within three hundred miles of me. One was only seventy two miles away. One person lives in Nova Scotia and we are planning to stop by and see his layout this fall while we are on vacation. I e-mail a couple of them every once in a while and we inform each other of good items up for bid. I've bought everything from brass engines to decals in value. We were broken into by some local kids who put three brass engines in their pockets along with some other stuff and the police never did find the kids but, I did go down to Lowes and buy several cameras and put them around the house. Now when any of the doors are opened youn have 10 seconds to punch in the code or all of the cameras start running into a hidden VCR. I felt like the cameras were a better investment then insurance. We also informed several family members about the security system so they could access it. this isn't $.02 worth this is a whole $1.00 Have a good day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob Stephens
