I got this email from UT, anyone else have the same issue?
"Someone has tried to log into your account on Urban Toronto with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.
The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 177.131.18.166"
I did find a spam email in my inbox this morning, maybe they were trying to login to my account to use for spam. Should I do anything about it?

It's a spambot IP. I would advise changing your UT password.

Closing in on $1,000? Either it's a bunch of fake bids or they running a stalking horse to make it seem like it's valuable.
As much as I understand eBay, it appears that someone has set up an automated bid on Rob's beer mug. It also appears that this is the first thing that particular user has ever purchased on eBay. So, you be the judge.
Yeah, I don't understand the ebay very well; I think I've maybe bought one thing using "Buy it now!" several years ago. But is what I'm seeing right? One person bid against themselves 25 times (in the course of 5 minutes!) jacking the price up $220 from $150 to $370, then someone else bid against themselves three more times over 3 minutes raising the price almost $500 more to $850? I'm guessing these are anxious people with their heart set on that "only one, not a reproduction" mug thinking their bid did not go through? But then someone else piled on an extra $10 and the bidding had been at a standstill for just over 3 days.As much as I understand eBay, it appears that someone has set up an automated bid on Rob's beer mug.

The idea of Rob buying his own mug—and actually losing money on eBay's commission—cheers me no end.
Even it works in his favour this time, he'll just keep on doing it until he is caught . . . a motis operandi we should all be familiar with.
FWIW: The first item has sold, and that ernest eBay user did not bid on it even once.

BTW, what did the map go for? Is there some way of looking that up? It looks like "torontorobford"'s sells are still at zero so I'm assuming the sale just hasn't gone through?
Ford/DMW outsourcing garbage collection to private sector was supposed to save millions, but garbage collection fees for 2015 are up 58%, costing homeowners.

Respect for the taxpayer indeed.
Is my sarcasm meter broken? If not, that's a violation of the law of misleading percentages. Please re-read your dog-eared copy of "How To Lie With Statistics". (This is a real, and very educational if slim, book.)
I thought so at first, but it only looks that way because the "automatic" bids are hidden by default.
So, in fact, the person who appears to be bidding against himself is really bidding against an algorithm set up by . . . ?
The map sold for $865 USD.
