In the message there is a button to click on to respond to this message - I DONT THINK SO BUDDY!!!! I sent you the money , where's the package ? You promised that after i send the money you send the goods asap . is this a fraud? Please let me know! Should I contact the autorities ?

dragontears Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 i am confused are they saying that you didnt send them the package or is it that u never sold anything and they are wanting soemthing for free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebcandles Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 I havent sold them anything. I dont understand why they are sending this to me. I *believe* there might be a virus once I click on the button that says "respond to this email now"Who knows....all i know is that Im not going to click on the button and I forwarded the message to spoof at ebay.

CandleFreak Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I received one from an "ebay.com" address in which a complaint was being lodged for not sending a package...in which I never sold!!!!!! some political magazine auction...I figured it for a "spoof" since I've NEVER sold anything like that and forwarded it to ebay...they responded the same day and confirmed it was a spoof and that they were tracking it, etcso ebay will get back to you soon!I get several stupid things from "ebay" all I can say is BE CAREFUL!!! Check on ebay's site they have a section dedicated to detecting "spoofs" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaVA Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Last week I found out that my e-bay account had been hacked and was suspended due to unauthorized listings. I was getting e-mails from people asking about these listings and getting spoof e-mails asking me to "click the link" and log into my account. Yeah right. I finally got it straightened out, but it was a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
