new ebay scam
Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2006 10:33 am
There is a new scam currently coming through ebay. You receive an e-mail from a ebay user which states:
Hello,
Money was sent today. Please e-mail me as soon as possible because I want to know when I receive my package.
Thank you,
yosfeh
Regards
There is no item number associated with the e-mail and even if you are currently logged in when you click on the "respond now" it asks you to log in again "DO NOT DO IT"
If you do it gives the scammers you user name and password. I have notified ebay about this. I am a small time ebay seller but I know there are some users with mulitple items that may believe this it a valid e-mail. Watch for this e-mail or ones like it and look closley at it, no item number and not generated through ebay in the "my ebay" messages then it is a scam. Mark.
