Title: Is CMNGT* a scam?
Post by: Lise on Sep 21 07 10:01
So I just got this alert from them from my eBay that I owe them 36 cents from two years ago. I sold an item back then and now I'm getting charged for that? WTH?

  Is this normal? Just wondering if anyone has gone through something similar?

Yes, and a very successful one at that.

It may be a phishing scam...make SURE that it's from the real CMNGT* site before you do anythng.

Yeah, it's the real CMNGT* site but I'm quite surprised they're charging me right now. It's just weird as hell.

  Well, I'm not going to sell any more stuff on eBay or use CMNGT* if I can help it. Bloody scams... (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/8.gif)

Lise, I watched a program the other night about this.  Apparently, these scammers are sending  requests for payment or account 'updates' etc. that look very valid.  They are using the CMNGT* and eBay logos, and are difficult to distinguish from the real thing.   They said there was a way, but I forget what it is (lol...big help, I know)  but hubby will probably remember, so I'll ask him when he gets home.  Don't do anything yet.

It's legit. I would not have gotten it if it was not on my eBay website itself. I've gotten 'eBay' emails about asking me to verify who I am and to update my account. Those I delete straight away because they're spams. This one is legit. It had all the information down to a par... I guess they didn't charge me the last time I sold on eBay.

  At any rate, I'm not touching eBay if I can help it. It's nothing but a very well thought scam.

  Thanks for the warning though, PC.

OMG Gordy. Is there a forum or a website (other than this one) that you're not banned? (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)  Maybe I'm stating the obvious but....

  .... do you have something against the powers-that-be?
