FORMULASPEED Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Yeah I got one of those emails. Then 2 days later my friend got an email from ebay saying he won a new mercedes, all he had to do is log in. I told him it was probly fake . So he reported it, an ebay said that was the first they had seen of that type of scam. And said in no way were they giving a mercedes away. Cheep bastards.

PyRo_ZaCh Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 i can possibly see credit card, but ss number? and bank account? now why would they even need stuff like that "this is for a new service that will buy fun things that you will never get to see, but convientaly take the money right out of your bank account to pay them off instantly" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
