Beware Thousands of Fraudulent High-end Listings on Ebay

sethc1020 · 01-11-2022, 07:30 PM

Just noticed this seller listed thousands of super high-end listings at once that have to be fraudulent. I remember there was a thread on here a while back that was very similar and I believe the sellers account had been hacked. Here's a link to one of the listings but click on sellers other items. Beware

Link is dead. They kill it already? Who was the seller?

sethc1020 · 01-11-2022, 09:15 PM

Yep looks like all listings have been removed by Ebay. That was a lot faster than I expected

Sellers have been getting hacked quite a bit recently and this is the evidence yes. I have yet to hear what the actual hack is, but I know it has been happening to active and dormant accounts alike. I have seen this reported on instagram at various times for months.

People are just getting their email accounts cracked. Phishing or spoof emails getting past people, and allowing these crooks access to their inbox or directly to their ebay, bank, facebook and other accounts.

As far as I know, no one is actually hacking ebay. This has been going on, since the internet started.

I dont think ebay itself is hacked no, your scenario is most likely. Someone probably wrote a script that tries every email/password from the dark web and just run it on ebay and see how many people use the same passwords, or using the forgot my password feature. Email is the gate to everything. Does ebay not have two factor authentication yet?

Appeared to be the same deal as the last time this happened. UK Ebay account with only train sets in his sales history MVP5 or something was the account. Graded card in the picture but you couldn't zoom in to read the serial numbers on the cards easily. The description said going out of business, don't bid on the item email them instead.

RustyDawg37 · 01-12-2022, 11:32 AM

Imagine if these companies actually worked on cybersecurity in this overly internet reliant world?

Here’s another one. Watch out. Report them

I saw this one too. How does this keep happening? An enormous company with the resources of Ebay should have highly advanced tools that look at a seller's previous sales (in this case, a few cheap items) and compare it with new listings (in this case, thousands of incredibly valuable cards) and flag it as suspicious when they don't match.

Yes, of course. All of these hacked accounts post literally the same cards (and electronics etc.) every time.

49ersSF · 01-13-2022, 10:24 PM

The guy is probably making good money doing this scam. Judging by the amount of bids he gets every single time he hacks an account I am betting quite a few people contact him through the e-mail he provides. Just look at the never-ending line of people that buy fake 86-87 fleer basketball packs to see how easy it is for scammers to get people to toss them money.

The only good things is that Ebay seems to be taking them down pretty quick.

They posted these in such a rush, they didn't bother to take out the Probstein watermarks in hundreds of the stolen images

the best place to report them is to cardporn on instagram. I believe they have a contact at eBay that will disable the accounts.

CanadianKid · 01-15-2022, 04:20 PM

Oh look heres another just popped up! Same deal

For eBay to be so behind that they can't track an IP addy or some other web fingerprint to this person, it's kinda baffling.

Well, it's eBay so maybe not

Agreed, this should have been handled months ago.
