eBay Fake Email
Mudlark:
Just received a fake email claiming to be from eBay.
Because of the way it was sent it would seem that details were gleaned from this site - the only place that I have mentioned selling on eBay
(I refer to a post I made recently from which details not listed in the data on this site were used - not a breach of this site's security I hasten to add)
Please check your eBay emails with extra care
Boggert:
I get them once a month at least, just remember to log in via Ebay not from you e-mail. there is a lot of scammers out there who can pick up your e-mail address very easily. I have a totally separate e-mail for ebay only.
wing nut:
i get some corkers and the nigerian scammers :roll:
strapping young lad:
i use many email addresses but only one i use for ebay
i normally receive fake ones to my hotmail one but on the odd occasion i do receive one from ebay its almost certainly a fake one mainly cos ebay dont email you unless you are
a) bidding (winning/losing/lost)
b) need to pay for something
c) sold something
otherwise its cr@p and should be ignored
even if a) - c) looks like its covered in the email, scan the email quickly and you can normally work out if its genuine or not.
Guardian.:
i get them every week, always check your ebay messages in ebay first as a genuine message will be in there.
they make bloody good spoof pages dont they!
