Good morning,

I just received an incredibly disturbing email this morning from "eBay." I'd made an offer on a card, but it ended up selling to someone else. Anyway, I received an email this morning offering me a second chance to purchase the item. The email was identical in format to those I've received from eBay. The scary part is that it told me exactly what offer I made on the card and offered it to me at the same price.

Three things identified this as a scam, or I could have been taken for a lot of money:
1. The email address was not from eBay;
2. The link to the card didn't' work
3. The email said: "to complete this purchase, please follow the link or email the seller at ____."

The last was key as eBay would never have me contact a seller directly. It is scary though that someone obtained my bidding history. Any idea how that happened?

Thanks,

Chris
