Fraud attempt

I was contacted by a seller who had received a message asking them to send the item I had won, to a completely different name and address.  I want other sellers/buyers to be aware that this is happening. Thankfully the seller had the common sense to contact me first, before just posting the item. Items should only be posted to the registered name and address. This is clearly a scam and has been reported.

Hello...

 

How would anyone know that it was you that had won the item ?    Your identity is kept secret when you bid on items.   No other member can actually see who won the item unless they have access to your account.

 

I think your account may be compromised/hacked.

 

Go to help and contact tab at the top of the page and search....someone is using my account

 

Follow all the instructions about changing passwords etc etc   including Paypal.

 

Make sure that your addresses have not been changed on your accounts etc.

 

After you have done the above google Phishing emails...as this is the way most accounts are hacked/compromised.

 

Hope the above helps.
