What's with non paying bidders who claim their account was hijacked?

What's with non paying bidders who claim their account was hijacked? It used to be "my kid bid on it" and now it's "hijacked". They'll say hijacked and bid on your item despite that the person continued doing all their other activity throughout that time.

I think once someone with 0 feedback and a new account even claimed "hijacked" but they didn't get their unpaid strike reversed. I guess that claim was too ridiculous.

the latest excuse...i guess with all the sellers getting their accounts hijacked they figure we'll be sympathetic

stupid effing buyers i say give them a negative if they were really hijacked then how did they log in and contact them. oh, and im sure hijackers are interested in your items and then not paying. i get these buyers all the time except they say my sister big on it, my kid bid on it, oops there is a death in the family i can't pay, etc etc. stupid buyers

I still give them a strike and a negative when they try to pull that

CPU geek, I've done that and they get both removed. I've even tried waiting 4 months to neg and they still get the neg removed.
