Roger link I've had a few Dodge, just send them directly onto the ebay security centre. Getting spammed like mad with similar mails from all the banks/building societies too. Some poor suckers are going to fall for this shite
Guest Jamie Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Know what you mean, how many variations are there on the same theme i.e. 'log on with this link and we'll take you to the fcuking cleaners' I just hope not too many decent people ever fall for these scams. NEVER log on to ebay when there is a link on the email. I wonder if anyone has ever had a reply from ebay when they have reported a scam/spam link?? I know I haven't. Jamie

Guest Jamie Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I always get an automated reply from eBay confirming that it was a bogus mail Jamie. Ali on JoT's ID link Hi Sweet Thought something was odd, not enough and for Uncle John

Simsy Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I always get an automated reply from eBay confirming that it was a bogus mail Jamie. Ali on JoT's ID link Yeah, can't be bothered to report them anymore, just delete them. Ebay never email on account detail. Being in sales it's a real irritant to see an inbound email and think I wonder if that's a deal conf, only to find out it's those daft b#stards :angry:

Steve G Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 I wonder if anyone has ever had a reply from ebay when they have reported a scam/spam link?? I know I haven't. Jamie link You have to report it to spoof@ebay.com I always get a reply, but make sure you include all the header fields in the message. I would hope ebay contact the I.S.P. and close the account down...... link
Headsy Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 best not to open any dodgy e-mails,I read somewhere that if you open them and ignore them they can still put ''things'' into your computer that the firewall and virus detectors cannot stop ,all because they were opened.
Tsu Tomatoes Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 I've reported these to E Bay before and always had replies. I had my account hacked into once (pre firewall) and E Bay told me. I then sorted it out via a live chat thingy with some E Bay guy in the States who got everything up and running again in no time
Guest in town Mikey Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 I received this from Ebay, concerning an item I paid for not being delivered: -After careful review, we have concluded our investigation of the Buyer Complaint described below. We have decided in your favour, however, we were unable to recover any funds from the seller's account. As stated in the PayPal User Agreement, recovery of funds associated with a Buyer Complaint cannot be guaranteed. We will make our best effort to recover the funds in question if they become available in the seller's account in the future. Please be assured that we will also take appropriate action against the seller's account, which may include limitation of the seller's account privileges. -The seller even sent me an email extracting the urine, that ebay are powerless to do anything about it. So when people moan about the prices paid on JMs auctions, at least allow for the fact that if you pay for an item off John, you are going to get what you paid for.
Makemvinyl Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 talking of giving money back i sold a record to a guy in NY he asked for recored delivery it arrived in the states and got lost from there on i gave proof of cost to the royal mail and proof of postage and got 4 dollars 70cents postage on signed for delivery Ebay actually stopped me using my account until i repaid the guy The item has since been i believe delivered but not signed for so it cost me 75.00 dollars and the original cost of the record for a lot of hastle EBAY huh
