eBay takes privacy and security extremely seriously, which is why we continually invest heavily in measures to protect users around the clock. “If you think you have been a victim of fraud, please report it to us.”Ī spokesperson for eBay, said: “Millions of buyers and sellers use our marketplace safely each day around the world. “It’s really important to follow our advice to help protect yourself and always trust your instincts – criminals will try and make unusual behavior, like asking for a tracking number before you have sent the item, seem like a legitimate request. The fraudster will then send a follow-up email requesting a tracking number in the hope that the victim will be rushed into shipping the item before they have had a chance to verify the payment.ĭirector of Action Fraud, Pauline Smith, said: “We know that fraudsters will go to great lengths to target people on online marketplaces, which is why we are working hard together with our partners to highlight the threat and prevent people from falling victim. Fraudsters will send the victim an email purporting to be from PayPal in attempt to trick them into believing they have received payment for an item.
