[DeTomaso] Auction Cancelled

Wed Apr 2 14:09:59 EDT 2008

And I received the following in response to my request for more info.
I may have received an e-mail from the "seller", but it was gone by the time
I checked my account.

=     =     =    =     =     

Our records show that you recently received an email from yupsterboutique
through the Ask Seller a Question or Contact eBay Member features. This
email may be fraudulent and an attempt to do one of the following:

- Obtain your eBay password
- Gain access to your eBay account
- Use your eBay account for fraudulent activity
- Set up an outside-of-eBay transaction which may be fraudulent

This kind of email is often called a "phish" or "phishing attempt," and the
people who send them are known as "phishers." Phishers use these methods to
try to get your personal information, such as user names, passwords and
credit card details. Because the emails may sometimes come through the eBay
system, the phisher may seem to be trustworthy and have a good reason to
contact you.

***Important - Protect Your Personal Information***
- Don't reply to the sender either through the eBay system or your personal
email account. 

- Don't open any links or cut and paste any Web addresses into your browser
from the phishing email. 

- If you think you may have entered personal information such as your
password, Social Security Number, or credit card information into a website
based on a request from a phishing email, you need to act *immediately* to
protect yourself from identity theft. For detailed instructions about the
steps to take, please go to:

and it goes on and on ...

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

We canceled this listing to protect you and the member whose account was
used without permission. Here are immediate steps you can take while we
investigate:
***If You Have Already Paid***
If you have already paid for this item but haven't received it, you need to
act quickly to get your money back.
- If you paid with PayPal (always the recommended way to pay on eBay), your
purchase is covered up to $200 at no additional cost. Most transactions are
covered up to $2,000 by PayPal Buyer Protection.
If the payment hasn't been claimed, you can cancel your PayPal payment by
following these steps:

PayPal claims need to be filed within 45 days of the close of the listing.
It can take 30 days or more to complete the investigation and close the
dispute.
- If you paid by check, contact your bank to stop payment. You'll probably
be asked for the check number, payee, and check amount.
- If you paid by credit card, contact your credit card company to stop
payment. You can usually find the phone number on the back of the credit
card.

It's rare that something goes wrong with a transaction on eBay. Whenever
these events occur, we do our best to resolve the issue. You can help us
keep eBay safe by following the safety tips below.
***Don't Complete This Purchase***
If the seller or someone claiming to be the seller contacts you to send
money for this sale, don't do it.
***More Safety Tips***
- Never pay for eBay items with Western Union or MoneyGram -- Sellers on
eBay aren't allowed to request payments by instant cash transfers. If
something goes wrong with the transaction, the buyer can't confirm who
picked up the cash.
- Protect your identity online -- Don't click links in emails that ask you
for personal information. eBay never asks you for your account numbers,
passwords, or other personal information through email.
- Take advantage of payment protection -- You get extra security when you
use PayPal for your eBay purchases. Most eBay transaction are covered up to
$2,000 by the Buyer Protection Program. To learn more, please go to:
