These scams come up each and every day on eBay. This is nothing new..

new version

yes the scam is the same text, the new twist is as soon as you click on the item, it takes you off ebay site, the listing looks exactly the same, I've been using ebay for 10+ years, i was fooled by it, when it asked me for my password when i had just signed in, when i clicked on the contact ebay link at the bottom of the page. most of the previous versions just had the text in the listing, not a off ebay website showing a page exactly as ebay puts it on.

did you report it to ebay so they can take it down... i appreciate the warning, but reporting it to ebay would eliminate the risk for everyone.

I saw one like this a couple of weeks ago, pretty sophisticated hack. It redirected to what appeared to be ebay.it (but wasn't.)

Looks like it's been reported and removed as of 6:00 PM CDT. Now it says,

This listing (251279229161) has been removed, or this item is not available.

I appreciate the warning, that's a real problem on ebay's part.

....likewise...I think the word people are trying to say is "thanks".

 

[Ranchu]

Exactly right. Thank you!

Do us all a favor and don't post link to a scammer's site. The reason is that if someone is scamming to grab your username and password, it's entirely possible that they've loaded the page with a script that will attempt to either install malware or will attempt to invade your computer.

I apologize if this comes off as rather mean. It's not intended to. Just too simply warn of the possibilities that a scammer will sink to any level to steal your information.
