    So logged into my email the other day and went through my junk folder because occasionally I have important emails that end up there and this is what I found.


    Things that strike me as not being right are:

    1) I've never had an Ebay email go to my junk folder in the past

    2) It says theyve notified me several times and this is the first I knew of it

    3) Ive never used the Bill Me Later feature

    4) The amount I "supposedly owe" doesnt add up to anything Ive bought.


    Anybody else get this email??? Pretty sure its a scam but want to know what you all think of this.

    If you continue does it ask you for any personal information?

    If so...

    most larger companies, probably actually anyone will have you call and contact them to continue instead of giving them info like your bank card#, SSN, bank account #...etc.

    Then yeah, it's fraud.

    sounds like fraud have you even used the bill me later feature? Just like Nick said majority of the time they will call you and not contact you through email.

    What you see here is all that I got from them. This is the address it says its from ebay@ebaybill.com and this is the title of the email "Notification of indebtedness. #id28666"‏

    I went to the Contact Ebay tab or whatever and its just like a spot to ask a question and it searches for an answer. Pretty lame that way. Is there another way to find their number?

    I checked like the list of purchased Items on Ebay and it contained only stuff that I bought in the past. Wouldnt it show in there if someone bought something on my account? and ill check google too.

    I usually just email them and within a day or 2 they email me back unless it's something important they will call my cell. I would contact paypal though since bill me later is through then.
