Ebay survey email

13 replies

Bubbaloo · 31/10/2007 22:46

Has anyone else received one recently?
I received one today asking me to click on a link and complete a survey which should take no more than 10 mins.
Looks very genuine but thought I's check on here,just incase it's not.

Thanks.

I got one too, and thought it probably was genuine but there was a risk that it wasn't so I deleted it.

Anyway, I don't ever give marketing companies anything for free. I only do pop-up surveys if they offer a chance at a decent prize, and if they don't take too long.

I don't think eBay is going to get too many responses to this survey - everyone is far too wary about clicking on a link these days!

Well...am genuine as it looked,it wasn't from Ebay.
I forwarded it on to them and they knew nothing of it.

Wow, that's the best fake I've ever seen. I'm really surprised, actually.

Bubbaloo · 01/11/2007 13:29

I'm also really surprised too and I did very stupidly click on the link,before deleting it.Does make you wonder-it looked so genuine and even had my Ebay user name in the email too,so just goes to show.

Bubbaloo · 01/11/2007 13:54

Maybe I should change my Yahoo password aswell whilst I'm at it!

Good point. I'd also change my paypal password just in case.

I have forwarded it toebay too, remember if the email is not in your 'messages' on your ebay account it is most likely fake.

Bubbaloo · 01/11/2007 18:56

Yes,it was only afterwards I checked my Ebay messages and then got suspicious.
I still didn't enter any info though so I'm hoping it'll be ok.I did only change my Ebay password and I haven't typed any of my other passwords anywhere.
These emails are such a nuissance!
