afternoon all, just too make you all aware, someone last night hacked our works ebay account between 5pm and 8am this morning selling iphones at £350 pounds each when we opened the account up as we do every morning as we have an online store we were shocked that the amount we had been paid over night was almost £300.000 but the money had been transfered too another paypal account and have had people calling all day asking where the advert had gone and why we had taken it off, and offering us there credit card details
so just a word of warning. i replied too the the guys personall email address asking if i could buy a phone from him, this was the responce i got:

Hello Jones ,
Sorry for the delay but I have too many customers. I hope you understand and accept my apologize for that .
The phones are original , brand new and factory unlocked, in original boxes , never opened or used with all the accessories and are covered by 1 international year warranty ( Apple Care ) . The phones can be used in all networks without any problem ...
The price for :
1 x BRAND NEW APPLE IPHONE 4S 64GB = £350 GBP
3 x BRAND NEW APPLE IPHONE 4S 64GB = £800 GBP
5 x BRAND NEW APPLE IPHONE 4S 64GB = £1,100 GBP
10 x BRAND NEW APPLE IPHONE 4S 64GB= £1,850 GBP

Please be carefull out there, he scammed people out of over quarter of a million pounds over night!

 

Mugs! Who on this planet wouldn't be sceptical about a brand new 64gb 4S for £350.

If it looks too good to be true it probably is

 

alot of people! 3 people bought 1000 phones at once!

 

3 people each purchased 1000 phones?

Hmmm that looks more like money laundering than scamming IMO.

Get onto the serious fraud office.

 

Ali OT but like your sig line, that is the Sisters of Mercy isnt it ?

 

This is an on-going scam - I came across it last year (it was iphone 4 then). Ebay are pretty quick to take the listing down and as long as people have used paypal they are OK. The ones who get caught are the ones who contact him 'outside' of Ebay (the listing usually ask to be contacted by email for price details .......)

 

Yep SoM, I want more.

Kerrang radio played the full 10minute version of This Corrosion a few weeks back...I had to crank it up and drive a few extra times round the block

 

Can I have his email....

 

Things like that don't just happen over night most likely an inside job anyway...

 

Touched by the hand of ofrah (temple of love) does it for me,

Speaking of phones I had the strangest dream the other night.

I dreamed I sold my smallish HTC wildifire S, a bought another Android phone but the screen and phone was about four times bigger. This new phone was awesome for surfing the net and stuff, had a brilliant screen, but if I put it in my rear pocket it would only go about half way in and the rest would stick out. I was concerned about the size of it and how stupid it looked being unable to put it in my pocket properly. I wonder if this represented some phallic anxiety?

 

£300k overnight? Wow, incredible amount or money for just getting your eBay password!

 

he is still doing it now, just through his email address, as the advert was quickly removed (still make the cash) people are calling us already this morning asking for refunds as they paid him by credit card!

 

350 is too much lol

 

So did he get your eBay password and your PayPal password?!

 

we dont know how he did it, we changed the passwords anyway just too be sure, but if he can do it once im sure he can do it again

 

i think people were just trying to make there own money by selling them on, as alot of people bought 3-4 phones

 

This is pretty much an ongoing scam. See more here:-

t*wats

 

It could just be as simple as someone installing a key logger on the pc that is used to access both ebay and paypal to grab the passwords....

 

Fpmsl did they pay using Western Union
