It is as scammy as a scam sandwich.
It is an attempt at identity theft. It’s fraudulent.
From the Member-to-Member contact policy:
❝What are the guidelines?
Spam (email)
We don't allow our members to send each other spam. "Spam" is an email (or part of an email) that is both unsolicited and commercial in nature.
Unsolicited means the message was sent without the explicit request of the person who received it. Commercial means the message discusses buying, selling, or trading of goods or services.
Some examples of spam include:
- Unsolicited email offers sent to potential buyers
- Email messages sent to a member on a mailing list without that member's prior permission
- Invitations to join a mailing list that aren't related to your eBay Store
- Offers to buy or sell off eBay
- Email sent using eBay Messages (or features such as the Contact member link) to send unsolicited commercial offers
Not allowed
If you have received spam from another eBay member, please forward it to spoof@ebay.com.❞
Do the above; forward that message to spoof@ebay.com.
