had the same thing happen a couple months ago we reported it to ebay IT WAS A SCAM

The emails were NOT from ebay WHATEVER you do, don't answer them!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hit "FORWARD", then type in "[email protected]" in the "send to" box.

This will send them to the scam folks at ebay who then will HOPEFULLY contact the scammer's ISP's to have them shut down.

Forward those emails to [email protected] You will know soon enough if they are scams or not.

 

[Nancy Howell]

This is a scam. I"ve received similar emails. Forward to [email protected]

If you had to log-in to check the items, they now have your ID and Password. You need to change your password with EBAY as soon as possible. Go to their help section.

This is a scam. I regularly get such e-mails even though I don't use e-bay and have never had an account!

Scams emails like this have been going on since ebay started. Just ignore it unless you want to send all your money to Nigeria.

The message will usually look authentic, but the headers will often tell a different story.

Do they use your real name or user id in the message, or is it somehow generic?

I get at least two of those emails per week. I make sure to change my passwords at least once a month, sooner if I suspect people are trying to get in to my accounts.

The suggestion to forward them to [email protected] is correct. One time someone got into my wife's email AND eBay accounts and purchased several hundred dollars worth of items. We called eBay help, spent about half an hour on the phone and got it straightened out - zero cost to us, just the hassle of setting up a new account for email and at eBay.
