Exclusive Opel Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 This muppet has been doing this for months now 🤬 I usually sign him up first with a few newletters with the email address he gives then report him to ebay. Done three today already. He's even too stupid to use a different photo each time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 🤔 why do ebay allow thus to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEPETE Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Looks like it had been removed...ebay will act but I cannot be bothered to report each time I see similar ads..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I reported them loads of times and got bored of it. If eBay can’t sort it out then why should we bother. I’ve got a feeling whoever is doing it are hacking genuine accounts to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Same, keep reporting them .....Not sure what they can do to stop them hacking accounts, some are well established users with loads of feedback, you would think they would know about secure passwords, I can only think they are using some sort of phishing or malware to get the passwords. I had a mail the other day which was very convincing supposedely from Netflix saying we failed to collect your subscription click here to pay, looked real enough and lots would fall for it, however if you hover over the link without clicking it shows you where it is actually going to, this link was to a server in China! My golden rule is even if a mail looks genuine I go to the actual website directly and login to check, phone calls asking for my info I call the company back, pays to be paranoid these days sadly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike. Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I got an e mail from the OMOC admin team a few weeks ago to say my account was locked because there was three failed log in attempts from a postcode in Aberdeen, right enough I couldn’t browse the forum, access was restricted. I opened a new search from my phone for the OMOC club, logged on there as an existing member, changed my password then I was able gain access to the full forum, see photos etc again. The problem now is when I do a google search and type in certain Opel Manta searches up comes a photo of my Manta taken off my profile photo, with a link at the bottom of the photo to the OMOC. I tend to suspect someone did get access to my account, realistically nothing posted online is 100% secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get a suspicious email I always use my PC to check and can tell straight away it is. I always try and send the emails to the company being copied like Amazon, PayPal etc. to their spoof email report addresses. Don't know what their cyber team do with it but I have done my bit. I also go to the correct website to confirm. My email account at Outlook/Live is usually very good at picking up Spam emails and puts them straight in the spam folder that I delete regularly once I am sure they are fake emails. When I saw the advert with the white Manta GTE (eBay) I constantly reported it to them. The perpetrators were doing the same adverts for other classic cars as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only got to type in Opel Manta on google image search and a picture of my red hatch (pre getting it back in the road) comes up. It’s because google can search through forums that are public to get you what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hmm, this is a good point. Maybe we should start to watermark the pictures we upload. Are pictures we add to these forums seen by Google’s web crawler ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEPETE Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 The main clue for dodgy ads is the 99p starts (for tons of items) but you are asked to email the owner direct as they do not have access to ebay...or no computer or anything similar!
