Sold (or tried to sell) a mobile on eBay. I have been using it for years and this is the first bad transaction I have had.
The buyer sent me a fake email, making out it was from BidPay. It's so bad that instead of just posting negative feedback I though I would put the email up on the net and put a link to it in the feedback section, as a warning to other eBayers.
Anyway, get a load of this...

Oh dear... tut tut. that's appalling. did he even try to phish it?
its probably not got more fraud and scams, but being a company thats getting bigger it has the publicity.
Getting the hump with ebay in general;
Recieved 20 or so phishing attempts in the last 4 weeks; All coming as a question from a member querying postage, or a asking if you're still interested in an item. Clicking the item link takes you to a fake log screen hosted at 81.196.121.139.
Did the dutyfull thing and reported to ebay; Pasted in all the header information from the mail (which shows its a spoofed mail) and explain that it takes you to at fake login site.
What do I get back? A mail explaining "It does not appear to be a spoof email"
I get about 30 a week all for update your account info.
40 or so others from banks
All phishes
Not surprising though, it's a catchall email @ one of my domains
Wow, this guy does not give up. I emailed him telling him where to shove it and get this back...
Persitant little begger.
hello,
thansk for the mail,is like you dont understand me i mean i have already made the payment toyour address that you gave to me so what are you saying about it, that the mail is fake no is not what you think i assure just try and send the tracking number to them and you will see that you collect your postal order ASAP,
i assure that just dont worry.
lol tell him (again) to take a long walk of a short peer - such stupid pond life
they must get some ppl in the scam tho otherwise it would be pointless trying it
Yeah I dont see a problem either...just go for it.Originally Posted by streetster

You can always tell the phishing scams through bad spelling grammer etc. Legit companies have standardised letters etc which are normally proofed by someone who passed GCSE English at some point.

just say "bidpay" is not one of your accepted payment methods.
