Another Scam

[twentysix by twentyfive]

I got this today:-

The email looks quite good for a scam as it's got good coloured logo and things. They are usually quite easy to spot. I've checked in eBay and Paypal and nothing is recorded in either of this "transaction". So nothing hacked. I guess my email address is "out there" tho'.

We don’t have GST in this country, it’s VAT, so that’s obviously dodgy.

Is the shipping address correct?

Nope - shipping address isn't mine. I redacted my email address.

Do we really need a thread a day with a 'new' scam? They're not really new, the same old thing with slight variations over and over. We all get them constantly and most just delete them without a second thought. Those the are susceptible to them are unlikely to be reading all of these and making note of the specifics.

Another way to see if these are scam or not is to search for the phone number, this one is nonsense number nothing to do with e bay.

Maybe a single thread? Maybe titled "SCAM of the Day"?

Except you have now given out a persons address who may have had their eBay account compromised. Not yours, well done. Someone else’s, poor show.

So? It’s not right to give it out.

To save any further debate can you please redact the address and then then re-insert into your post.

Thanks.
