New (to Me) Ebay Scam

[Pete S]

Not seen this one before - this time they say you have got complaint against you and tell you to go to your messages page, which of course is usually the most secure place to go to, I don't know where it actually leads to but I got a warning as soon as I clicked on it, and to be honest it's the first one I've ever clicked on, just because it said to go to my message page

Wouldn't let me post up the whole thing, said image was too large, but it was spot on

I've had several of these, some say "Hey, I want to pay you the money for the item I won on ebay"

or "When will you be sending my item?" and of course the evergreen "There's a complaint about you".

Any you don't recognise...delete!

Never go to ebay from your emails.

Yeah I've seen those but this one actually referred to 'my ebay' messages which they never have before, which is supposed to be the safe place to actually read messages, if you see what I mean

It quite amuses me in a way because I haven't bought or sold anything on Ebay for going on 4 months now and on a weekly basis I get at least one of the above 3 messages. Somebody loves a tryer eh?

DP plays dumb and asks "and why do I keep getting Warning Fraud Account alerts from Barclays when I've never ever banked with them? Mmmm?

Ever alert Derek
