How is he getting the bidder's identities? Is he in our accounts, the sellers' accounts, or somehow able to access encrypted data from eBay?
I understand the idea of bogus 2nd chance offers as a result of shilling, or other shenengens.. But not where the emailer has private information. 2nd chance offer from this same email address is now at 4 for today. I'm not as worried about the 2nd chance offer, as I am this guy doing something more clever. Maybe he emails as the seller asking for a sale offline to eliminate seller fees.. Maybe he falsely accepts best offer and gets clever enough to create a good PayPal link to his email address. To Add: all 4 instances are 2nd chance offers on different sellers' items Last edited by itjclarke; 04-03-2013 at 10:29 PM. Reason: To add

For those who got one today, is this the first? If this is something that happens everyday, then oh well.. But if this is the start of something new, this sucks. This guy has information he shouldn't have. And again, if he starts sending "your best offer has been accepted" emails, and better masks his email address, I might get a little more nervous.

Ebay scam?
Hi gang, I am not a baseball card enthusiast, but I have been getting a 2nd chance offer from this same person jrenv.engineer@gmail.com. I did a google search of his email and your forum came up so I wanted to post my info from this individual. It even went so far as to inform me to look in my spam folder to find is email correspondence. I think this is a definite scam, but a good one as he had me tricked until I found your forum. Here is what was sent to me:
from: engineer reply-to: jrenv.engineer@gmail.com to: date: Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 8:48 PM subject: Re: You've received a Second Chance Offer on eBay item #300872690518: VTL Ultimate Pre-amp w/phono cable (90 degree DIN plug to XLR connectors inc) mailed-by: m3kw2wvrgufz5godrsrytgd7.apphosting.bounces.google .com signed-by: engineer.wor44.info

Just thinking out loud
The specificity involved with the emails people are receiving is fairly alarming. If this is a hacker/scammer situation, they appear to have worked out a somewhat sophisticated little operation that will almost certainly dupe quite a few people.
Another possibility is that there may be someone running rogue at eBay. Either way, it may be time to sound the alarm before too many people fall prey to this. Best Regards, Eric
