Had an ebay question sent to me about my impreza this morning, it read as follows :
will buy your item let me know your reserve also i need to know if your item has the same specs, same options like this,take a look, here is the link:
(Changed the link abit to disable it)

Stupidly i clicked the link and had to sign in to my ebay.
The link went knowhere really, but they got my ebay password.
They sent 26 messages off my ebay saying the same with that link in it.
So had to change my password sharpish, but worried now about what this scammer know about me and my ebay and what they can use my account for.
Anyone had the same happen to them?

P.S. DONT CLICK ANY LINKS SENT IN EBAY QUESTIONS

 

Id b more worryed about them getting ur pay pal account, U could always create a new account?

 

u still need to enter the paypal account seperately so they shouldn,t know that one ........

 

I had something similar through a couple of days ago. I was selling a camera, and had a message through along the lines of "I saw one just like this a couple of days ago, check out http://...

The URL looked legit at first glance - you had to read all the way through it to find the reference to a domain which wasn't a legitimate Ebay site. Thankfully I'm pretty good at spotting scams and didn't follow the link, but I'm 99.99% sure it was a phishing scam.

 

Not much use to you now, but Internet Explorer 7 alerts you that this is a phishing website.

 

looking at the site is an exact copy of the log on page, the onyl give away is the web URL itself, im sure one day they wil be able to clone a URL so the page will be a log on and the URL wil read ebay.co.uk/signin/host or alike

getting very good now tho arnt they

sorry to hear about ur mishap tho

 

Why post the link ??

are you the scammer hopping people have there details already entered

 

This one is doing the rounds big time at the moment. Just sold my girlfriends wrx on ebay and over the last week I received about 30 odd emails saying similar things,forwarded all of them to ebay who confirmed they were dodgy !!

 

READ MY POST AGAIN PROPERLY THIS TIME

 

my missus had one very similar however hers was tellin ger she owed 19000 ( in some obscure currency ) in sellers fees and gave her e alink to pay it off.

Luckily though she has been hacked before on Ebay so shes very conscious. It was only cos she had paid her sellers fees off recently and questioned the amount in the email she didnt get had.

 

Best thing to do is just ignore all ebay emails. If they are genuine messages for you then they will be in your 'My Messages' section of 'My Ebay'
