scammers promoted by ebay

[mic977547]

i logged on ebay and had a notice on my page telling me i qualified for a gift.

i had to do a survey about kitchen wares and would get my gift.

i did the survey and told i had to pay $3 for delivery.

after all of that, i get a big email the next day from a different (parent company-see below?) telling me i'd subscribed to something foreign to me at a cost of $103 per fortnight.

so i had to cancel my card and close my account so as i am not chasing my money, thanks very much EBAY,,,,,, NOT

A followup

The company that somehow piggybacked on the offer can be searched on Google and the membership cancelled

And you are going to want to do more than that , if this is the 'free gift' scam ad the thread is about. If you have given your card details to the scammers THIS thread is about, there is no 'somehow piggy backing' involved. It is a scam posted /warned widely about .
