Rory Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I had this when I was selling my old car a couple of weeks ago. Ebay must have picked up on the user tho, as I received a message from them saying "you got a message from user xxxxx... please be aware of scam emails " blah blah. I knew it was a scam as soon as I saw it thankfully. These pricks really p1ss me off ! ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I had my ebay account hacked about 3 weeks ago. The joke is, as soon as I notified ebay [albeit too late, after the scumbag had bid on about a dozen very expensive electrical items in America] they restricted my account, now Im experiencing lots of difficulty getting the restrictions removed because they don't believe that I am who I say I am. Idiots. They should be more interested in prevention other than cure, they would stop alot of problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I’ve said it before but the thing I find completely unbelievable about ebay is you can open an account without providing any form of ID. Rip someone off, ebay close your account and then you can just open another account and start again its utter madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack cottam Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I had three messages - two from USA and one from Scotland ( prob a Yank ) with the same message and link. Forwarded them to [email protected] and was advised " action had been taken". Anyone get one just forward them and then delete. Hopefully the b****ers will get caught.

They "say" they are from the USA as 99% of the world now knows not to deal with Nigeria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
