[f-AA] Ebay

[Rich Dugger]

If you click on a link and it takes you to a web page that looks like what 
you would expect to see,

Look up in the address bar and it should say  https://www.whatever.com If 
there is no "s" after "http" or there is anything  else weird, for get it!!

Went through same thing last year. Turns out one of the adds to make more
money, or be a power seller or something like that, is the way the spammers
got my e-mail and passwords for e-bay. Never again.
