    There's not much I won't do for a wagon wheel... have voted BB :) That is an adorable picture, she (he?) looks just like my old dog Bessie, I still miss her. Poole isn't that far from me... in the grand scheme of things...

    Edit: I can't believe 16 is winning over 17! 17 is MUCH better!

    He said he thought it was either having an easy password (not a chance - it's a very random word) or replying to a spoof ebay email - again, nope!

    Or you have a key-logger installed on your machine.

    I've checked everything - banks etc and nothing else has been touched. I did a bit of digging and another way in is a script piece of software which looks for ebay passwords which are dictionary words. Mine was a dictionary word, but a very strange/random one. That then gives them access to the ebay account. They then use the id profile to know the email address and if that person uses the same password for their emal address ( I did - until today!) they then have ebay and email access.

    Seems most scammers buy lots of mobile phones or high value gadgets very quickly. I was very lucky not to have had any buys/items listed within the 3 hours since they did it.

    Daphne - I know!! I thought (being biased) it would be between Charlie and number 20 but I'm guessing that 16 and 2 have enlisted lots of people to voted daily.

    My mum is a member of a scrapbook forum and last night posted a similar request and his vote count leapt by 50 over night. :j
