officiallly no one should contact you via ebay its against rules.. if worried report to ebay management
they can check out

[mr.chaz]

they're getting tricky now y'know.
I get official e Bay looking e mails telling me they have had trouble putting through my last month's charges , and that I should re submit my credit card details - Yeah right!!!

I even had a legit looking "Second Chance Offer" on a bike I bid on a couple of month's ago. Looked dead legit , until I was contacted by someone who wanted all my personal details , and sounded like they were writing in pidgeon English. Seems they are now trawling through failed bid listings and trying to impersonate the original seller.

BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was sent an email which claimed to be from ebay
i opened it and it was a virus
trojan or something simmilar

not all emails from ebay are from ebay,,,,,just summit to look out for

[mr.chaz]

I just ignore them all now , and forward them to e Bay for them to sort out.
send em to

spoof@ebay.co.uk

Rik n me got a second chance email too very recently, it looked completely authentic, exactly the same as the 'winning bid' one you get etc gave an adress to pick up from and where to send the money etc, lucky for us Rik being a bit of a suspicious sod , he didnt reply to the email that came he went into his ebay and contacted the seller direct from there, who replied saying it was a fraud as the trike had been sold and picked up.
When we checked the address given for pick up it was a shipping company in Southampton the bank we were to pay the money to was Western Union, apparently that is the bank most favoured for this kind of scam, they have been contacted many times about this sort of thing but dont want to know!!
So beware everyone.

[deathrider]
