Title: Someone on Ebay is using my telephone numbers?
Post by: Bacon on March 20, 2011, 23:54:44 PM
No idea why this is, but someone is using my landline number and step dads mobile number to sell a BMW on Ebay based in Northampton i think it was.

What can i do about this? I cant even find a way to contact Ebay as i'm not happy in the slightest.

There were 2 more numbers in the listing, one was a digit too short and one didnt work, i cant see the point of having those 2 numbers+ my 2 numbers, other than it must be a scam of some sort.

Any advice?

Why not just report the listing?  Probably a typo.

Both landline and mobile as a typo? :P Also they are in the listing details at the top so they have been added as the numbers for the account, which is odd.

I bet its a scam and they have listed various phone numbers from ads on ebay listed months ago.

it's a pitty it's been removed now.... we could have all asked questions...

things like "I'm sorry about the phone call mate, didn't mean to disturb you, but I've phoned the police and if you come to my house they will arrest you"

etc. etc. etc.
