this is a con ... been going on for at least a year (or there abouts)

Never give out any details ... always try to find an e-mail address on their site and ask them ... if you can find an address that is)

or post in their community chat area etc and see what is said

got the reply from ebay and as suspected this was a spoof e-mail its very well done so don't get tricked into sending your personal details as ebay tell me they would never ask for any personal detail's via e-mail . they have removed the spoof website and are trying to find out where the e-mail has been sent from but i guess there is a very slim chance of them getting found ?

Ive not had it yet, but at least I know about it now...

Cheers Damage!

[Mr_london_lover]

you think thats a scam? well listen to this. I sold a phone on Ebay to a user in Northern Ireland.
He wins my Ebay auction and pays me £200 through Paypal. I see the funds in my Paypal account so ship the phone to him.
4 days later after the phone got to him the funds got reversed out of my Paypal account back to the buyer. So i lost the phone and lost my £200.
Then to my shock and horror when contacting PAYPAL they tell me you've been a victim of fraudelent funds so theyre policy is to reverse the transaction. Furthermore they want me to pay a further £200 to paypal because this person has used fraudalent funds. WHAT A FOOKIN JOKE!!!!
I ended up contacting the bloke who bought the phone off me and to my shock n horror he never knew what the Fook i was talking about and even gave me the phone back.
So then i thought something dodgy is going on here.
I rang there office in the USA and got into a huge row. They dont even give out there last names. Guess what happened next?
They froze my account and wanted me to send utility bills and ID to them by post to there head office in the USA.
I turned round to them and send you aint no bank to ask for Sh*t like that. I went absolutly ballistic. Now what ive heard is through this mad web site i found regarding the corrupt activities of PAYPAL is that when they receive this Identification from their gullable customers their employees then pass on this personal Identification to 3rd parties which set up bogus accounts in your name and buy and sell things on EBAY. MAD HUH? I would advise anyone using paypal or EBAY in fact never give them your identification cos some of their dodgy employees sell it on to 3rd parties. In fact dont use PAYPAL FULLSTOP!
If you dont believe me CHECK OUT THIS PAYPAL COMPLAINTS WEBSITE!

Get the word around about this PAYPAL corrupt company. Must have something to do with the BUSH administration lol

[FATBOY]

[bpspider]

Had a look at the site.
Some scary stories on there.
Buy a lot of stuff from ebay, no problems at all.
Was thinking of getting a paypal account, not any more.
Thanks for the link.

[benjibhoy]

as regards to paypal how many days do they take to tell if it is a fraudulent transaction because if i have to use it i want to know when it's safe ? if ever !

my confidence has gone

paypal

I have an account with paypal, using both my Visa and Solo card.
This information is frightening. I will be taking my Visa off it.
At least with the Solo you can restrict how much is in your bank account. Not with Visa though they could take you for your full credit limit. No F-inway am I allowing this to happen.
I am glad I have joined this forum. The amount of useful and neccesary information on it is far outreaching my expectations.
Good work lads & gals.
Thank-You Drew for the referral.:Clap: :Clap: :Clap:

This is scary I have two credit cards registered with Paypal, and always thought it was the safest and secure way to buy online.
Not anymore im off to remove my cards.
Cheers for the info :Moon:

 

[colin.claire]

It took nearly 3 weeks before paypal informed me that they wanted to take £150 back off me....luckily for me i had recognised that something dodgy was going on and didnt send the mobile phone i had sold for £75 and the kind buyer paid me £75 extra for postage!!!!!.....i read on the ebay help pages this is a common trick to make you send the item quick.......but it was almost 3 weeks before paypal decided it was a stolen credit card....also the buyer always asks you to post it to a different address than the one registered.......
