Yet another spoof / scam

designerlass — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 14:45:44 GMT

This is a total scam.
This came into my email box:
I didn't order it.
I checked my messages on ebay and the email I received was NOT in my ebay messages so it did not come from ebay.
They want you to phone that number so they can pretend to be protecting you but actually they want to frighten you into giving them info that lets them get into your bank account so they can steal your money.

Best way to get confirmation that a suspicious email pretending to be from ebay is a scam is to send the email as an attachment to spoof@ebay.com

Is eBay worth losing so much money?

scam after scam, were getting clobbered!
I would give up and use the shops but they no longer stock items. Especially car parts places.
But... eBay doesn't realise a class action against eBay can be done and bring eBay to account!

How are you "losing so much money"?

"class action"... for what reason?
