Heads Up Fake Ebay offering, by seidbereit on Feb 28, 2008 16:59:57 GMT 1, hi, i have been offered, via email, which looks authentic, a Second chance offer, for a Sepia Morons - Item Number: 150213722392. This is fake, as I know the person who bought it, so there is no such offering. Plus, one fact to make note of, if the offer isnt in your Ebay Messages, then it is a phish/fake offer
Any idea of the print number?
Surely you'd only get a second chance offer if you were originally bidding, right?

I have had several fake emails arrive in my Microsoft Outlook that look exactly like emails from Ebay. If you click on these mails you run a very high risk of identity fraud.
I do not know why Ebay send legitimate emails with links. They should stop this practice and send message without links asking you to log in through the normal channels.

Heads Up Fake Ebay offering, by seidbereit on Feb 28, 2008 17:45:02 GMT 1, print number 15 i bid, but i was no where near the winning bid price
15? That would appear to be in the extremely low 100s!!
Are you sure it's the same auction?

I've alway wondered that about the links too... good advice though, I always look in my messages page on ebay and wouldn't dream of clicking a link in one of their mails.
