SCAM????

[slan8564]

I don't know if anyone else has been involved in what I believe is a scam, but I have just had a mobile phone call which was obviously a recorded message telling me that I will have $350 odd taken out of my account in payment for an iphone they said I had ordered....I hung up before the message went any further.  I HAVE NOT  ordered ANY i-phone from ebay, either today, or at any other time.  I am keeping a close watch on my bank account, and if I see any such attempt at theat money coming out of my account, I will be on the phone to my bank instantly.

PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS.

It is actually an old scam.

They want you to give them your details to "fix the problem" (although of course the problem does not exist).

As you hung up (I hope without giving them any details), you should be safe.

They don't even know if you have an eBay account. They just try.

No money has been taken out of bank accounts when they call, but sadly quite often people believe the scammers and then give them all their details to get the money back that was never taken out of their account in the first place.

It is a very old, very common scam that has been posted about many times

and people who have never even used eBay get the same scam calls  (I know this, because an old housemate got the same identical call about 5 years ago, had never used eBay in their lives) 

Glad you hung up rather than 'press one' or follow other instructions from the scammer
