Member: andreeas21 has sent a question about item #260469257268

Take a look at this email and see how many clues there are that tell me it is an Ebay scam.

1) It says: "Your registered name is included to show this message originated from eBay". My Ebay name isn't included and that email address isn't the one I use on Ebay.

2) Point your mouse at one of the links (don't click) and look at the web address displayed at the bottom of your screen: http://cgi3.ebay.com.au.ws.item.260469257268.crystalpig.com/private/index.htm

Look closely at that address - it isn't the real Ebay website - a hacker has added their scam site onto the crystalpig.com site (crystalpig.com is a legitimate site).

3) I didn't list the item mentioned for sale on Ebay.

4) ----- I'm sure you can find more clues if you look hard enough.
