  • Ebay Spam? Huh??

    It seems every time I check my email there’s at least one email in there with the subject line “You’ve received a question about your eBay item”. Sometimes there are way more than just one. This doesn’t just happen for one email either, I get them in all of my email boxes. When I open the email up there’s just some crap about a question, with some random eBay item number. The number isn’t even for a valid ebay item, and there are absolutely no links. If there were at least links, I could assume it is possibly spam or some kind of spoof email to obtain my personal eBay information, but there are no links or any type of instructions whatsoever. If this is some type of spam, then lol @ the idiot spamming nothing.

    I did think for a minute that they might actually be legitimate items on eBay and this was just some stupid way for people to get traffic to their items they are selling. That’s when I checked the item numbers and found that listings don’t exist with the item numbers given. Either way, I know if I’m getting numerous emails a day with this junk then other people must be too. Nice life @ wasting your time sending out pointless emails that serve absolutely no purpose. Fix your spammer bro!!!!

    I’ve gotten them before too. I think the difference is our emails catch it and don’t let the links work cause they suspect spam? I know my gmail does that, it even says possible spam at the top of the message. Spam is ridiculous anyway.
