EBAY scammer
Posted By: Robert
I just recieved a second chance offer for 2 lots I lost out on the other day. A T206 Bender PSA 8 which I was the next highest bidder and a 33 Goudey Ruth PSA 6 that I came in about 4th. The respond to emails are havex@juno.com for both and they where different sellers. I just want to make the board aware of this guy and I did report it to EBAY. But knowing them nothing will happen. The message came to me as a subject "Question from ebay member" so it is someone with an account in the ebay system. |

I got one a few days ago for an auction on which I had been the 7th (yes, 7th) highest bidder. And it was only two days after the auction ended. It was presented as a form letter through the ebay 2nd chance offer system, but the word "through" was misspelled. I should also point out that my max bid was below $1000 on a card that went for over $1500. What are these people thinking? The email came from aw-confirm@ebay.com, but I was told to contact fraieri_de_fraieri@yahoo.com if I was interested in purchasing the item at my high bid. Has anyone else received bogus second chance offers from this person? |

If I understand how the second chance offer works, you would pay the amount that would have been the next bid increment about the bidder below you, not your max bid. |

"This is an old scam where sellers would use a fake account to win the auction, then send an offer to the underbidder, telling them that they could purchase the item for their max bid." |

It might be a little more sophisticated than that. I received a similar second chance offer not long ago. The email looked legit and there was a link to a website that looked a lot like ebay's sign on page. Just like the ebay sign on page, this one asks for user ID and password. When I enter my user name and ID, it took me to a page that looked a lot like ebay's message to member page. After I typed my message, there was a confirmation page that looked a lot like ebay's confirmation page. |

One thing I do is when I go to a website like eBay that requires my id and password, I start by typing in my id the wrong pass word. I feel okay when the website reposnds, "This information is incorrect. The id and password do not match the id and password on our records. Recheck your information and try again." ... If and when a site responds, "Thank you for your password. We'll get back to you," I'll be glad I typed in an incorrect password. |

I get about once a week a bogus message, allegedly from Pay Pal, saying I have won an auction for $300 or $400, I don't recall the exact amount. |

No, I don't think Shaq makes that much. But I think Kevin Garnett does. |

One of the most successful of these scams was by the people who operated www.paypa1.com (that's www.p-a-y-p-a-one.com, linked in their emails). |
