eBAY; Verify Information?? |
|
Some time ago some DUers were warning against an eBAY scam. I received this notice in my E mail a little while ago. Should I open it?

1. NO! Forward it to ebay. Do NOT do anything else with it. |
|
These people are spoofing ebay subscribers to get your information ... and credit card number. It will link to a site that looks official. It isn't.

It's an attempt to get your personal information. I've gotten them from eBay, AOL, and other services I subscribe to. One was so badly misspelled it was almost laughable. Again, do not respond to them...just delete or report it to eBay.

5. If you are ever unsure... |
|
Go directly to the ebay site and follow their links to your account. Never follow a link on an email! Shysters abound out there.

6. Nooo! Forward it to spoof@ebay.com. They will quickly.. |
|
let you know the skinny. I got a spoof email earlier this week. I did open the spoof form with my password to see what it was about. But I quickly changed my password afterwards.

eBAY says it is a fake. A Spam, A ripoff. The answer came back from eBAY about two minutes after I forwarded the spam e mail. I used the E mail address provided by Kahuna in this thread.
Thank you boys and girls.
