How have the tables been turned? It's just that Nigerian scammers are now targeting innocent students in their own country.

The title should read: "Nigerian students now as thick as British ebay users"

Yupp. Trying to outbid people with a friends account from the same ip isn't the best of ideas.

Now that's crafty.

I'd probably still be using ebay but it's so fucking annoying when you're trying to sell a popular item like a games console. I got tired of the amount of times that some knob head bidded a stupidly high amount and then me discovering that their account had been hacked. I just don't understand why they do it?
