WARNING of SCAM
I posted about this just the other day. Is it a new scam? I don't know...
But it has happened to me twice now in the past week - and I had never seen
it before. You get a "question" sent to you - looking like an actual E-Bay
member wants to ask a question sort of deal. When you click on reply, it
will direct you to a screen to ask your sign in information. THIS IS
WRONG... DO NOT FALL FOR THIS.
I have items up for bid now, and I got a question asked of me of one of
those items.... When I hit reply, it took me directly to a "response" area
to type in my answer, it DID NOT ask for my sign in information. THAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE - the Scam will ask for it. An Auto reply to a legitimate item
does not.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL.... when replying to anything. The last time - which I
posted about not too long ago, the ass hole made it look like he was asking
about a guy ripped him off, which supposedly dealt with me. This time, they
asked it I replied to a posted item to ask a question.
I still say those ass holes ought to be shot on sight when found. They ruin
it for everyone else.
