The latest eBay spoof
I've been receiving a lot of eBay spoof messages lately that are designed to look like questions from other eBay members. The format looks a lot like the real thing and the content of the message is usually something like "I paid you, but I haven't received my item." If you get a message like this and aren't sure if it's real, you can do a couple things to protect yourself:
- Go directly to my.ebay.com and log in. If another member has sent you a message via ebay, the message will appear here. If it doesn't, it's a scam.
- Send the questionable message to spoof@ebay.com. They will take a look at the message and let you know whether it is genuine or a fake. This usually takes less than 24 hours.
