Yet another scam via Ebay

So I get an email from *paypal (fake of course) saying that I am being notified that I have paid an ebay member for a camera for $400.

I never made any such transaction. I see that I can click at the bottom of the email to dispute and file for refund whereby the scumbag would aquire my Ebay password so they can use my account to scam people. That or they would have asked for my Paypal info to steal from me.

I say we find out where these scams originate and then inform their governments that all aid will be cut off to their country if they continue to host these criminals. Then I bet we'd see some action!

I got the same email a while back. It's a scam trying to get into your paypal account. Report it to paypal.

Well, you are way ahead of Raoul. He paid 4 times. Speaking of, where is he?

I'm on my last payment of the 12. Hard to imagine how fast the interest adds up.

I've seen that one and some others. We had one auction I got overbid on, that we got three "second chance offers". None of the three were legit. Recently I got a "monthly bill" from Ebay as well.

They seem to do a good job of ridding the place of scammers once you report them so I report them all.
