PROTECT YOURSELF FROM GETTING SCAMMED.
FIRST OF ALL:
NEVER - EVER CONTACTED EMAIL ADDRESS POSTED ON AN AUCTION DIRECTLY. ALWAYS USE EBAY "ASK SELLER A QUESTION". Located on the right top item page under the seller's ID.
NEVER - EVER PAY YOUR EBAY ITEM BY BANK WIRE TRANSFER or WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER/ ORDER FOR ANY REASON.
ALWAYS CHECK THE SELLER REPUTATION BEFORE YOU BID OR BUY. A PAPER CLIPS SELLER THAT SUDDENLY OFFERING $5,000.00 HIGH TECH ITEM SHOULD BE IN A RED ALERT. ASK SELLER A QUESTION (click on right top ebay page not email address posted in the item description).
DO NOT SO EXCITING WITH ITEM THAT HAS NO PAYPAL PAYMENT OPTION. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
Please read further below, everything you need to know about ebay scams and how to avoid them . . . .
NEW SCAM MODEL. STARTING EARLY DEC 2007
HIJACKED EBAY ACCOUNT
SAMPLE OF A FRAUDULENT ITEM AUCTIONED:
I am sure that Ebay will remove this item soon, so when you searching for this item # 110185739386, it will no longer exist.
See the date and the item number below, also the hijacker e-mail address. I blotted the seller and highest bidder IDs to protect their identities. The highest bid was $79.00 when I captured this page but it jump to $1,575.00 within few hours. See the pictures below.
NO harmful/ spoof/ phising links Clickable in this page.
This Hijacker listed the item (a Leica M8) right under the legit account owner's nose!
Below is part of the list captured from the SELLER'S OTHER ITEMS.
The Hijacker listed the item (Leica M8) right under the account owner's nose!
Below is ANOTHER BOGUS LISTING/ ITEM LISTED UNDER A HIJACKED ACCOUNT. This time the hijacker created a JPG file to put their e-mail address so you won't able to search by ADVANCE SEARCH FEATURE I mentioned in my guides.
Nov 18/07 10.26 pm - I have no idea how much is the ebay fee for 15,225 item listed by the hijacker above but this one, the victim is a U.K seller.
WITHIN A FEW HOURS . . . . . . . .
