 |
|
Anyone who is a member of Ebay must at one time or another have received spoof emails. Once they were quite primal in their content "Hi this is ebay, give us your bank details or we will ban you" type thing.
I have noticed over the last few months they are getting a bit more clever.
I received one tonight posing as a member asking a question, looking like a genuine question from a member "Why have you bidded on my product and do not respond to my messages. You are the winning bidder and if you will not respond to my message i will leave a negative feedback.
Michael"
I had not bid on his item of 'USMLE Step 2 GOLJAN PATHOLOGY AUDIO CD NOTES and MORE' and nearly responded until obviously it asked me for my username and password. So i went to the Ebay website itself - copied and pasted the product code and suprise suprise it does not exist.
Just wanted to warn others if they get a similar email. If i get anything in my outlook express from ebay I always go into my ebay account to check it is valid first. You are probably all aware of this but it dosen't hurt to share such information |
