Re: anybody else getting fake eBay emails saying watched item re-listed???
I get 3-4 emails a day that look sort of like a buyer asking me a question about an eBay item, but it is obvious they are phony as they never state what the item is in the eBay message.
The best thing to do, other than emailing the email to spoof@ebay.com (also for phone PayPal, go to spoof@paypal.com) is to answer any questions through your My eBay page, which should be accessed from your eBay homepage and not from any links in any emails.

I get those all the time. Spoofing spoofers.

Re: anybody else getting fake eBay emails saying watched item re-listed???
It's becoming more frequent. My favorite one is one that I've gotten at least 3 different times over a 7 month period. It's a "buyer" telling me that they "received all of the sports cards" they won from me "but the Shaquille O'Neal card is different than the one in the auction listing" and what can they do about it. Funny thing is, I've never sold a sports card in my life. Iwas sending them to spoof@ebay.com but I've just deleted the last one. I'm convinced ebay doesn't do a thing about it.

Re: anybody else getting fake eBay emails saying watched item re-listed???
WELL I JUST GOT 2 DAYS AGO THE KING OF ALL SCAMS!!!
I liked to see any one top this.
SOMEONE ACTUALLY PURCHASED MY ITEM BY CLICKING ON "Buy it Now"
Then 5 minutes later sent me an email saying they want to send me a Money Order for my item from there client. The amount will be made out to more then what my item was selling for, so if I can take the remaining money and send it to ther client in Africa.
They then told me they will arrange for a pick up by DHL and make sure I cash the Money Order immediately at my bank and find a Western Union to send the money cash to Africa.
HAS ANYONE ELSE GOT ANYTHING LIKE THIS?????

I get those emails all the time. I wouldn't send anything to anyone. They just had a similiar story on the news. Guy took the check to the bank, deposited it. Was told it cleared, then sent $4,900 to someone. The check
bounced . He's out the $4900. What a shame.

These scammers are worthless. Jason, I think someone on this forum got an email like yours a while back and pulled a pretty good prank on them in return. After the guy received the bogus check, he sent the scammers a box of rocks, COD. You did get their address, right? You should send them a couple bags of spinach.
