£10 off voucher from ebay via email?!

melancholly

just had an odd email - looks legit (all the links seem genuine enough) but nothing is in my messages on ebay itself. it's a coupon for £10 towards any purchase with a voucher code..... anyone heard of this before? can't tell if i'm being paranoid or not (but not being in the messages in ebay itself makes me nervous!)

One of my gmail accounts gets spammed with emails about money off vouchers.

Asda, gala bingo, tesco, apple, you name it.

I would err on the side of paranoia personally.

The coupon is genuine. I got one too. :j

The e-mail said they were giving me a freebie to tempt me back as I hadn't bought anything online for ages.

Here is the link to the coupon T & C on e-bay's website.

Why do i never get any of the paypal/ebay offers!

Did the coupon contain your email address. If not I think anybody can use it.

Just tried it and get 'This Redemption Code cannot be used from your PayPal account.'

I echo the post 6!

looking around the inter web thingy it appears only to work for those people that were emailed the code. Shame
