ebay scams
I have run some auctions on ebay and I bid from one of my accounts on my own auction on another account to win just to see if ebay would suspend me for shill bidding.
Now I received 2 emails from 2 different people claiming that they are the owners of the listing that I bid on ebay and are offering me second chance.
As both accounts are mine I know that they are scammers.
Here are their emails I will remove information about the auctions.
First email:
Dear xxxxx, I am (sellers username )(laura95g@gmail.com) on eBay, i recently listed an auction titled: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- item#: 260xxxxxxx05 and I have just been contacted by the eBay staff who informed me that the winner of this item got rejected due to security reasons. Your last auctioned bid of AU $170.00 prior to being outbided is taken into consideration as eBay policy automatically proclaims you to be the winner by default. Nevertheless, I need your agreement on this and your details so I may contact eBay to confirm your winning position otherwise I will have to relist the item.
If interested do reply with your details such as name and address.
Thank you
ps: i will support the shipping costs, so the total for you to pay would be AU $170.00
Second email:
Dear xxxx I'm the seller of item#:260xxxxxxx05 and as a valued bidder on my item where you were outbid by another buyer I would like to offer you a second chance offer for the item at your highest bid which was $170.00
If you would like to go ahead and purhcase the item please email me your details and we can arrange payment and delivery.
Looking forward to your reply.
