Search-fu and Ebay SPAM Gnutella! Alert! Here's how it's being done: They return results as mysearch.html where "mysearch" is the search terms you used. If you download that "file", it contains a browser re-direct to "www.search-fu.com" and nothing else. Being smart, I entered just the site name into the browser by hand. It then re-directed me the ebay.com search page with the search terms entered IN THE URL same as "mysearch" !!! How was this done when I didn't let it automatically re-direct me with the downloaded file? The search-fu site had my IP LOGGED !! Plus they logged my search terms so they can enter them into the ebay search page. I say it's SPAM and ebay is paying search-fu to do this, so they are responsible. I tested the IP log part by logging in again to my ISP, thus getting a different IP address and then I only get redirected to ebay without the search terms. Time to write ebay and get this stopped!! It's SPAM !! |
