Latest Ebay scam
 

Had 3 e-mails last week supposedly from Ebay users who haven't received an item or asking if I accept postal orders. As I'm currently not selling anything I immediately clicked on the link to the item being sold, to be taken to what looked like the Ebay sign-in page. I almost put my username and password in before remembering I shouldn't need to do this just to view an item. Looks like it's a scam to get access to peoples' accounts. Sample e-mail below (should have known by the grammar & spelling that it was dodgy):

Look, There are now 2 months since I paied for the item and I still didn`t receive it.This is my last warning : unless you solve the problem the first thing I shall report you to ebay and second I shall go to the police .

I am loosing my patience... i will wait your reply !!!

my wife had the same thing last week,she sent them on to ebay and let them deal with them.has heard nothing since.

There are similar banking scams going around to try and obtain internet banking details - good warning though!
