I went to open that coin on ebay, and was immediately hit with a pop up saying I'd won $200. Of course I didn't bite. Was this a innocent breach or a purposeful attack? I see the post has been removed.

let me clarify the above statement. I don't know if it was an innocent breach or a purposeful attack. Once that thread was removed, this thread in its original place would have no meaning.

I was actually using the ebay app on my phone yesterday, just browsing. And I got that same pop up. This was around 1800 last night.

I have removed the thread from public view so Bobby or another moderator can do some research on the thread and its popup.

There was apparently something in the ebay listing doing it. I have no idea if it was harmful or not and I'm not going to risk infecting my computer to find out.

i dared opening the link 3 times to see if it was a one off or what, I got the $200 pop up, it wouldn't let me close the tab, then it tried a download or something that my laptop warned me of and gave me the option to terminate..this happened each time.
