Software Detects eBay Fraud

If you are an eBay user, I’m sure that fraudulent actions on the mega auction service have often crossed your mind. Hopefully in the near future that won’t be an issue thanks to a new software developed at Carnegie Mellon called NetProbe. The data mining software could detect trends in artificial feedback, and identify those users to potential buyers.
