hummm...sucks you have to consider this.

I would email ebay and see what they say.

if its true, they will tell you, and if its false, they will know about the scam, and hopefully take care of it.
works in both ways.

BIG SCAM!! BIG SCAM!! BIG SCAM!!

Ebay will not send you anything like this. We get these all the time. There is some web site you can report them to for internet fraud but I cant remember what it is. My wife(HMT MOM) knows what it is. I will get her to post.

SkunT

dam, that sucks. i will keep an eye out for this. did
you get the email in your junk mail or your regular email?

and how often do you use ebay to purchase things? I have only bought 2 or 3 things off egay and never received anything like this before.

biggmike

its a scam and a bad one at that its a IP and its fowarded to a specific port 444.

i use ebay regularly to buy stuff and sell stuff. yeah if hmtmom can get on here and let me know what site i can go to, to report those bastards that would be greatly appreciated. and it came in my regular email folder. not junk. god damn sbc. they need to filter that ----

This is obviously a scam. Anyone who buys/ sells over the internet should know this is a ------- scam. No reputable company will email you asing you for your cc number.
