eBay Beware
« on: June 18, 2005, 02:39:10 pm »
Hi All,

Received two emails this morning asking me to give various details otherwise my ebay will be suspended.

Looks authentic but asks for credit card number, pin number, security number   , NO CHANCE.

Never ever respond to these type of emails.

Cheers,

Doug

You should always copy and paste these emails and send them to Ebay Account Guard !!

I had these last year, so must me doing the rounds again.
Why don't people do something more constructive and let others get on with their life instead of wasting our time with stupid emails.

They do this because there are a hell of alot of stupid people out there!

With upto date software these people can send out over 1 million emails every minute of so!

Consider a response of say 0.01% which would equate to approx 100 responses from 1 million.

This means 100 credit card / debit card details.
They can clean out peoples accounts with this information

So say they average £2500 from each card, that is 1/4 million Pounds!

Not bad for a few minutes work!
Does it happen?
Damn right it does!

NEVER EVER RESPOND. It is Just not worth the hassle!
