Avoid scam, How to spot an account takeover -Part 2/7
illustrated guide by Avi

[2.]  Next we review the description and right from the start we see the seller request to be contacted directly through an email OUTSIDE of eBay.
In addition, he promised FREE SHIPPING and that he’ll discuss with you a BIN price.This alone indicates for sure this is a scam and I would stop dreaming on this bargain right away and drop it.


[3.]  Next we go down to the shipping details and we see this item is available to worldwide with FREE UK shipping. Weird, isn’t it? Seller is in Germany, remember? Free shipping? what a nice seller we have found…
