Hi Everybody,
Just to let you know that a fairly credible looking scam has appeared on the ebay site.
I saw this one origionally on the Amazon platform. Basically, you are asked to complete a simple survey and your reward for taking part is apparently a new iphone.
Do Not Participate!!
You will win / be awarded / be congatulated / on "winning", and then be asked for your bank details in order that the cost of postage for your "free new iphone" can be covered. Give them these details at your peril.
I was fortunate because my bank contacted me to confirm a transfer from my account, considerably in excess of what postage from Earth to the space station would have cost.
Donot touch.
Slainte!
Don
If you see these boards there have been many reports of this
We have replies to several today and not just today
It has nothing to do with ebay and is a scam
Many have given their details and had money take out of their accounts
You need to check for malware and perhaps download addblock plus
Not many will see your post as there are few that come on this thread
