Dodgy Ebay E-Mail

Paul_Varjak

Got an E-Mail claiming to come from Ebay, wanting me to verify my account details, but I do no have an Ebay account.

I have discovered others who have had exactly the same E-Mail and I think I know the source of this fraudulent E-Mail

Now, what can I do to report this?

forward it to ebay and they investigate it. im not sure of the exact link though but someone will be able to help you. post this or move it onto the ebay board further down for a quicker response

send it to spoof@ebay.co.uk

So, do I just forward it, without any explanation or do I 'attach' to an E-Mail giving an explanation and saying who I think did it!

Hi Paul

as raptorman says, forward it to spoof@ebay.co.uk - you just need to say spoof mail? They do reply and will try to investigate. I try to report spoofs, the more people that do the better for everyone.

Defo ignore it or report it. My boyfriend had is ebay account hijacked and some f*** tried to sell expensive electrical items on his account. He may have inadvertently logged in via a dodgy email despite being careful re internet scams. He only found out when he got an email saying his login password had been changed?

I was sent one of these a while ago and as others have said I just forwarded it to [email="spoof@ebay.co.uk"]spoof@ebay.co.uk[/email] and within a few days they replied confirming that it was indeed a fake and they were investigating it.

seems strange that they are investigating all these spoof e-mails but they still keep coming!
