Question
Arghhhh. I just received an email message from someone asking where their item was. I clicked on the link that supposedly took me to the eBay listing. It certainly didn't take me to eBay. Dang.
I am so careful with these messages, but this one looked so realistic, and it had my eBay seller's email on it, so I clicked the link to see what hadn't arrived. Not a good thing to do!
When I copied and pasted the number in eBay's closed auction search it came up for a computer. I have never sold a computer on eBay or elsewhere in my life!
These messages are getting trickier and trickier. I am so careful not to click links, but I'm busy, it was the quickest way to check what was missing, and now I have no idea what I have let myself in for.
Here's the text of the message in a very professional carbon copy graphics enhance message exactly the same as you get from eBay when someone uses the 'ask a seller a question' link. I didn't copy the graphics, but it sure looked real. Here's the text:
What happend with my item. I have paid for it. Let me know asap or I will have to report you to eBay.
To view the item, go to: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/ebayISAPI.dll...tem=6740384150
Regards,
Mika.

I've been getting the one's that say my bid was cancelled, I haven't bid on anything lately so I just ignore them. I also get them about my Paypal account, I don't use Paypal.
