Bogus Second Chance Offers
Posted By: Joann
I've now received two fake 2nd Chance offers from ebay in the last two weeks. This morning's was really lame - just an email from someone saying I was being offered a second chance under ebay's policy. |

If you receive the "second chance" offer in your "myebay" mail then it's a bonafide offer. I've received a few bonafide second offers and they were pretty good offers. |

Like the "Judge" said, only reply to those if they appear in your "My eBay" mail section. |

In the last couple of weeks, I have received emails through my regular email carrier from people asking me if an item was still available. I have not sold anything on Ebay for 4-5 months. I'm not sure what this scam is trying to do. Anyway, I just send it along to spoof@Ebay. |

If they are asking if an item is still available (I get this all the time), I THINK they are simply trying to get your e-mail address and then the SPAM bogus e-mails attempting to get money from you will start. The messages through the EBay system do not divulge your e-mail address, so they need to retrieve it through your response to their SPAM. |

Hey Martin. How have you been? I think the scam you describe is meant to induce you to log into your Ebay account through a link in the message and enable the scammer to obtain your password. Just another method of phishing. |

In addition to the bogus offers as stated above, twice in the past week my account has been frozen by ebay due to "unusual activity". I take this to mean that someone is trying to crack my password and once there are a certain number of wrong attempts, my user ID is frozen. I'm happy that ebay has this process in place to protect me, but it sure is a pain to go through the system and unfreeze my password, especially multiple times. I have never clicked on any phishing emails in the past, so I believe this is a random act. |
