This scam is new to me

Post by Ron Victoria »

When I checked "my ebay" before, it had me selling 34 items, with my owed balance over $800. The location in the ads is Spain. It states not to use "ask seller a question" as it will go to a bulk file but rather use the addy listed. I already contacted ebay. I thought I had seen it all.

When I searched members and pulled myself up, I clicked "items for sale" and it showed nothing.

There is no limit to their hi-pocracy. Scammers are always looking for new angles to use to fool people. Always treat unexpected notices as false until proven true.

apparently, someone got my password. I never click on those phony links. I had to chat live with ebay to get things fixed. They insisted I change my verizon password before letting me back in. It could have happened when I asked a seller a ques. They even called me to verify I was Ron.
