"wasting our time if not genuine"

 

Look out for posters who have given kudos to an eBay announcement.

 

Here's another two time wasters

Re: selling

So someone help me out here. What is the point?? I assume this is not the work of individuals. So it is an attempt by who? what? to negate, undermine, discourage useful advice which is being given on eBay discussion boards?

No idea.

 

It's above my pay grade.

 

It's just annoying to me.

They're hijacked accounts.

 

All accounts have had information added to their "About" page and all their profile images have been  copied  from readily available Google images.   Check out the OP's.

 

Interesting to note  the country  / image /  of the  one on  Richo's thread (hijacked)  which  brings up the real  profile of

Re: selling

Excellent sleuthing. But I still ask - why would these hi-jacked accounts be asking questions on eBay discussion boards?

Re: selling

When the first thread was posted  (it's since been removed), it was in perfect English.

The poster said they were new and  asked for tips on buying   clothing  and electronics.

No-one would have suspected a thing.

 

A couple of regulars gave excellent tips but when I queried them on their feedback , a reply to me said

"Marketing, thanks"

 

At that stage, it appeared to be market research and when Kenya came into it,  even possibly AI related.

 

BUT when I  started digging deeper  and checked  their images,   their 'about' pages  which indicated  the items

 

they were about to sell, it looked like they were  setting up the accounts to fraudulently list items.

 

Now I know they were 'testing the waters" on our boards  to see if the accounts were still active and could

 

be used, because a few of the hijacked accounts have now had their  locations changed from Australia to Brazil.

 

 

And beware everyone, some of the hijackers are online  here right now
