Martha Reeves, former lead singer of Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, has told reporters that eBay left her open to identity theft. The claims follow her discovery that a genuine contract between herself and NBC to appear on Saturday Night Live back in 1975 was available to buy on the auction site. The contract includes Reeves' signature and social security number - hence the fears of identity theft.
Reeves, who has filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission about the sale, told the Detroit News: "You feel completely exposed. They've got my Social Security number and signature. That's all they need to steal my identity."
eBay are yet to comment on the auction.
