Defender II Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 It was bad enough getting the others, but last weekend someone sent one with my real name and real ebay handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre81 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Probably someone you bought from. My PayPal address was also used for spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubular Gearhead Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Yep. I received one this week as well. It was scary how real it looked. It said I had not sent an Item and owed someone $500 or some rubbish like that and wanted me to sign in. It said that the money would be taken out of my PayPal account and the FBI would be notified! I knew something was not right when in addition to signing in, it was asking me to verify my pet's name and other personal stuff. It was just a scam and I deleted it. I signed in on the real Ebay and PayPal and all was good. The scammers sure are getting clever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooooood point; maybe I should not be buying aquatic plants from Chinese sellers there. But it's so cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
