Anyone else receiving this particular one?

Marketplace Safety Tip

Do not respond to the sender (through the eBay system or your email provider) if this message is an offer to buy or sell outside of eBay. This type of offer is against eBay policy, may be fraudulent, and is not covered by buyer protection programs.

Second Chance Offer emails with the subject of .Message from eBay Member. are fake. Real Second Chance Offers come directly from eBay and appear in My Messages with a blue background and subject stating, .eBay Second Chance Offer for Item...".

Never pay for your eBay item using instant cash wire transfer services through Western Union or MoneyGram. These payment methods are unsafe when paying someone you don.t know.

Thanks Sonny, good reminder for everyone.

Yeah, I went through a period where I received a heap. Mostly about my account closing or problems with a deal. Just delete them when I see them now.

Again, for newbies, any email requesting you to log in to a website with your details (be it ebay, Paypal or banks) generally is a hoax. Log onto the site directly and enter from a trusted site, never from the link in the email.
