Re: Im calling bull on this statement
said by corrosive23  :Ive already received spam in my ebay message box. I bid on something and then the next day someone sent me a message saying he had similar items and would I like to bid on his auctions. SPAM is not the problem, fraud is.
I got the following message from ebay after receiving two outside (fraudulent?) invitations from the same person.
Dear me (me@mydomain.com):
Our records indicate that you recently interacted with bluecoi4 through the eBay email system.
Sometimes eBay accounts are used to send email solicitations for transactions outside of eBay, or to send unrelated questions in an attempt to discover your email address. We wanted you to be aware of the potential fraud risk these solicitations pose and encourage you to ignore the email you received from this member. Sales that take place outside of eBay are not eligible for any eBay or PayPal protective services and you run the risk of losing your money or your item if you complete these transactions.
We would encourage you to review the eBay pages related to Fraud Protection at the address provided below for information on steps you can take to ensure that future transactions are completed successfully:

If you have already sent the item or sent payment for the item, please reply to this email and we will send you additional information about how to protect yourself.
Regards,
Customer Support (Trust and Safety Department) |
