I’m sure it’s not a new one, but it’s going on right now. Looks legit, right?

I once got caught by the 2nd chance offer " I sent you the money, when will you ship?" scam. I wasn’t paying attention where it went to and poped in my username and pw, but for some reason it didn’t bring up the page I was use to seeing after I entered in my stuff… I went into e-bay… the msg was NOT in my e-bay msg box… so I immediately changed my pw.\ Remember kiddies ALWAYS check the url for weird things like www3. or whatever… I always recomend going into e-bay and checking your msgs / offers never do it from the e-mail link… better to be safe than end up like the baseball card scam person.
