New Form Of Scam! Watch Out!

geniepr · May 1st, 2008, 11:25 AM

I had a Buy it Now for $299 and today my item sold for a bedst offer of $199??? I never received an offer to my inbox and I never agreed to it. I'm not sure how all this is happening!!! I'm super carefull with my log in information and I never open any emails from eBay asd I normally just go directly to Ebay.com

Do anyone of you know how to check a buyer's recent purchases?

I want to check if the buyer indeed is the one behind the scam. I feel like just completing the sale thru google checkout to see the outcome. I really wanted to get rid of the bag and would sell it for the price but I still don't know who approved the best offer! BTW this is someone completly different from the similar post.

UPDATE! AFTER I FINISH POSTING WENT BACK TO MY LISTING AND IT WAS PULLED OFF, I JUST RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT THE TRANSACTION WAS VOID, SOMETHING ABOUT UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE ACCOUNT! (FRAUDULENT BUYER?)

Did my account just get hacked??

Yes I remember someone else having the same thing happen. I guess someone is hacking into the accounts and ending them early. Grrrrrr one more thing to worry about.

Wow that is crazy...I actually had someone hack my bank account and I had to close it and open a whole new acct...thank god that Wachovia caught it and notified me immediatly. I wish people would stop trying to scam other people.

I'd say change your passwords ASAP. I use the on screen keyboard now to log in to everything.

I always like to check out about a purchaser or seller--I also like to look at the items sold--it gives me an idea of what the seller generally sells.

Wow! That's scary. So glad eBay caught it!

missy_attitude · May 1st, 2008, 10:32 PM
