Never had this happen before either... |
Nuts. I sent messages to both the real seller and the jrenv address and heard back from the real seller immediately.. still have not heard back from jrenv. Agree, the email does look pretty legitimate though, aside from the afore mentioned red flags. I think it would definitely get iffier/more suspicious once payment options are presented, since I doubt this schmuck would be able to accept standard Paypal payment through eBay's checkout. I suspect he'd ask for payment via Paypal (or other method) using his personal email address and off eBay... unless he can manipulate his page with an "accept offer" tab that pays his email directly. My email didn't have this as an option.
I still have no idea how they got my personal info. This sucks, but 2nd chance offers are already suspicious as is, so hopefully no one takes the bait.
