fastbanshee8 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Don't click on any links, in an email, when they say they are from Ebay or PayPal. If you're unsure if the email is legit, then signin to Ebay or PayPal, and check. i got tired of getting these "phishing" emails, so I started forwarding them to spoof@ebay.com, or spoof@paypal.com. If you send the email to Ebay or Paypal, then will go after these jacka$$es, and shut them down. You should probably change your passwords for Ebay and PayPal, before someone empties your funds out, or sells something on Ebay, under your account.

MudSlinger09 Posted December 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) i aint got a paypal account , just use money order. but i deleted the email as soon as i saw it . but i gotta figure out what the seller is gonna do since i bought it , the person really fuckin bought the purse were all pretty smooth with deletin spyware and bein cautious on this computer too , so go figure . anyone know how to change a password on ebay?

jeepman380 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Yeah definatley delete those emails. I filled one out on mistake and they got me. Changed my password to my eBay account and my email account so I couldn't change my passwords and they sold some stuff under my name. Bastards. Although they did leave behind some info about them. I got their IP address. It was some AOL user so I turned them into to AOL's abuse team and they are on it as we speak. Hope they get those bastards.

batoutofshell Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 write to ebay secutrity tell them you didn't bid on the item and they should be able to help you. And change your e-mail back use the security questions you had to answer to get into your account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shee-Male Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 there is also a way to retract your bid, and if you won it for 119.00 then chances are that the last bidders max bid wasn't far behind, the seller can issue a second chance purchase to the last bidder, if you communicate as well. Definatley get in touch with ebay...the problem is that ebay takes about 2 days to reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
