Another eBay scam?

[f117nighthawk]

I got an email, supposedly from eBay at one of my email addresses, but not my eBay address. It says I've been billed $15. But I haven't done any business with eBay recently.

What does your account info at Ebay say? It's hard to see the scam when they're telling you to go to Ebay itself and check your account without displaying something like a false link to click on so they can steal the info.

I think it's a scam because the address they sent it to is not my eBay address, nor have I used that address there ever. And I haven't done anything at eBay in a month.

I would contact Ebay directly and see if they know anything.

I've gotten the same e-mail twice and at an e-mail address that I've never used on eBay. Must be Phishing...

you mean that they're hoping you're going to send them the acc't info directly by return email rather than going to ebay itself?

That hadn't occured to me. I would never have thought anyone would do that.

In that case I would contact ebay and give them all the details of that email so they can procede with legal options if they want/can.

Contact eBay through safe harbour and send them the email. They'll get back to you. eBay doesn't send emails looking for your personal info. They due, how ever, send notices that you account has been debited for the amount you owe them.
