Title: Warning
Post by: Andy H on August 17, 2007, 19:59:07
I just opened an email from an ebay member but it wasn`t.

The message was

Hi there, when did you send me a message and what is it about? BTW, I don't like your tone. Please don't do that to me. I can report you as well, remember? Respond to my question AS SOON AS POSSIBLE


Original message:
Why don't you answer to my emails!!! If you don't Respond Now I will contact eBay safe harbor and report you ! Let me know, I am not a fool ! Thank you ! !


Don`t try to respond-JUST DELETE

I think the email was messages@ebay.com

Andy

We're getting a lot of "You have been sent a Greetings Card.........", or "A special card for you....." at the office lately! Needless to say - binned.

YES also the greeting card ones are really serious, they will end the life of your computer.

Always check out these things at Snopes.com to see if they are real threats or hoxes.

im sick of getting those fake ebay ones,i must get 4 or 5 every week,some none too friendly too,used to panic me a bit,paranoid i may have bought something after a few sherries and forgotten about it! but opening your ebay account,from another browser,always puts one mind at rest!

If you're sent a message by an ebay member, it's always best to log in to ebay and check your messages there.  If it's not showing up there, then it's NOT genuine.  Don't go by what appears in your email inbox.
