I have received several calls claiming to be eBay over the past two weeks. Is this a scam caller or eBay?
You should not engage with anyone claiming to be eBay support on the phone.
IMMEDIATELY hang up, and check on eBay for a message.
The “eBay call” is a very well-known scam. It is the same (basically) as the “Amazon call” scam, the “bank account call” scam, the “solar rebate call” scam, the “tax office call” scam, etc.
Scammers have taken to posting on eBay forums posing as innocent confirmers of fake support numbers.
I reiterate: it’s a scam. It’s a scam. It’s a scam. Only ever contact eBay via the contact details on eBay’s own site.
EVER.
