new ebay scam

Just want to mention a scam I haven't seen before. I bid on an item and lost. I was contacted via ebay by a member who has 100% feedback over about 5 years, in this case. The member offered me a second chance on the item, saying the winner of the bid didn't come through. In this particular case I h

New eBay scam??

I have several items up on eBay right now. I have gotten two e-mails this weekend asking me if the item I am selling is the same as the one at a link, but the link goes to a page to download some sort of file. I have no intention of downloading something that may be a virus. Anyone know wh

Beware New eBay Scam

I just got a fake eBay message from a supposed buyer threatening to report me to eBay if I don't answer his question. It looks just like the regular eBay messages with a Respond Now button. The item in question does not exist. Not sure what would happen if I would have bit on it, but it was

Re: new ebay scam

Just to clarify something... I sell stuff on Ebay and they do have a feature for selling to the guy who came in second if you get stiffed by the winner. However, I have only had to use this feature once in all the stuff I've sold there. If you get a message like the one below be very wary but

Re: new ebay scam

I had something similar on a bid I made once. After a while, I got a message that a higher bid came in on the item, but when the item ended, I didn't get the expected "you've lost the bid", but actually I won the bid, with the explaination that the winner withdrew his bid. And to assure you: I

Re: new ebay scam

I suspect that the seller had someone put a shill bid in to drive the price up. I had something similar happen to me a few months ago. Someone outbid me on a camera. The seller contacted me and told me that the winner couldn't come up with the money. I was already uneasy and the whole thing started

Interestingly the file that downloads is a JS file without an extension. It should produce a "realistic" eBay signin page but it has no extension. Signin there and it e-mails your user ID and password somewhere else entirely. Cotty wrote: > On 17/12/06, Bob Shell, discombobulated, unleashed:

Re: Beware New eBay Scam

One quick way to pick up on something like that being fake - What would have tipped me off is the "Respond Now" button. I don't think Ebay puts that in emails any more - there's just a grayed out box saying "Respond to this in 'My Messages'", and it's not even a link. --- Jay Taylor <[EMAIL PROTEC

Re: Beware New eBay Scam

Jay, I got a similar message out of the UK. When I tried to look for the sender, it said that AOL user was busy. When I clicked the "Respond Now" button, it asked for a log-in. That's when I quit. The easy way to check those is on your My Ebay. It lists your My Messages. When I check, nothing was

If you get an email from eBay or PayPal that asks you to click on a link, and you haven't specifically requested it, rest assured it is fraudulent. I spend several hours a day running down these 'phishing' scams. -Adam Bob Sullivan wrote: > Jay, > > I got a similar message out of the UK. >
