A new low

I received this email - twice. It has not appeared in my ebay messages, so looks like a scam which plumbs new depths. Wouldn't want anyone to be taken in by it, as I so nearly was.

I think this is exactly what we are looking for.. our school needs but our budget is small..any info you could provide on this would be so helpful We need to try to find out about it ASAP- as your auction ends tomorrow. thanks-

  • Hmm, I got something similar about a book i'm selling, but it DID appear in my messages on ebay.
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.

    I always have messages about stuff I am not selling and stuff I am selling ...basically if it isn't done through your ebay and in the messages on your ebay then ignore it and mark as spam, if it is done through your ebay and smells like a scma don't risk it trust your gut instinct!
    :p:p Angel :p:p
