I am fully aware of 99% of scams, pshing expeditions etc. I have received several dozen and have faithfully sent to eaby. On to get a stock form letter saying it was received and a follow up advising how to avoid scams. I then started receiving the scams thru my messages, a supposed secure way of communicating. Reported also. I have received purported second chance offers thru email, went to my messages and it wasn't there. An obvious fake. I really have received fakes thru my messages. I deal in a variety of items, some large and some small purchases. My account has been penetrated to the point that my yahoo account is unaccessible. The one I receive msgs from ebay on. All has been reported and not once have I received anything but form letter replies. This is my last commincation with ebay. BEWARE !
