Ebayer "qleiojieokti" sending out ebay email scams.

[yertle]

Just a friendly notice to everybody that the ebay account qleiojieokti is sending out SPAM soliciting a response. I can't figure out why they are doing this if for no other reason then to harvest vaild email address for some other purpose.

 

The account they are sending from was registered on 5May2003 and they have yet to sell or bid on anything through ebay. I haven't bid on anything for at least a month ago. So the content of the email is bogus. Here is what they sent me.

Hi.

 

Thanks for bidding on my Comic Books. Could you please take a second to

email me back to CONFIRM your bid on my auction?

 

Thank you so much.

 

Chris

I got my spam last week, turned him in to ebay. My thought for all these clowns is to delete the file and move on. They could have some trojan horse in the email that will destroy the free world.

 

DELETE THEM ALL!!!!

The ****** sent me the same email yesterday and I deleted it.

[Rob]

I got that too. I assumed it was from someone I bid on. I wasn't the winning bidder, so I didn't reply.

[Titan777]

seems like a lot of people on this forum are getting it!

I got it twice, and deleted both.

 

My guess is he's trying to get ahold of email adresses for whatever reason.

Got it too, but from a different user name. Exact same message, though.
