New Ebay Scam....Canada Shipping questions!!!

[kryptonitecomics]

I just want to warn all of you about a new scam I just ran across. I sell on Ebay quite often and I get asked a lot of questions about item and or shipping quotes. A person e-mailed me today and told me that a friend had given him my name and that he was told I was an honest seller. He asked me if I ship to Canada and how much my rates were.

 

When I clicked on respond I had to log onto my Ebay account to respond, but I got an invalid password error. I assumed it was probably something shady going on so I went in an immediately changed my password on Ebay.

 

Several hours later I got an e-mail from a person in Germany stating that they had recieved 600 responses to a question they had not asked and that someone was inpersonating them. Below are the e-mails.....please be careful as the criminals are getting sneakier and sneakier.

 

Dear kryptonitecomics,

 

Hello, HI.My friend purchased one item from you and recommended you as a seller I can really trust. I'm interested in buying some items. Will you able ship my purchase to Canada? What are the terms of shipping? I also would like item to be shipped via USPS. Thank you for your answer!

Thank you,

zynnad
