eBay Fake Email
« on: November 23, 2006, 20:09:29 »
Just received a fake email claiming to be from eBay.

Because of the way it was sent it would seem that details were gleaned from this site - the only place that I have mentioned selling on eBay

(I refer to a post I made recently from which details not listed in the data on this site were used - not a breach of this site's security I hasten to add)

Please check your eBay emails with extra care

I get them once a month at least, just remember to log in via Ebay not from you e-mail. there is a lot of scammers out there who can pick up your e-mail address very easily. I have a totally separate e-mail for ebay only.

i use many email addresses but only one i use for ebay

i normally receive fake ones to my hotmail one but on the odd occasion i do receive one from ebay its almost certainly a fake one mainly cos ebay dont email you unless you are

a) bidding (winning/losing/lost)
b) need to pay for something
c) sold something

otherwise its cr@p and should be ignored

even if a) - c) looks like its covered in the email, scan the email quickly and you can normally work out if its genuine or not.
