Phone call at 1am.

[oliviagrace]

I got home yesterday from a holiday and was really tired and looking forward to sleeping in my own bed when I was woken by a phone call from e-bay at 1 am this morning. Why would they telephone anybody at that time especially if you have never bought or sold on e-bay, I have looked at the site occasionally but thats all.

what did they say? that might give you an idea as to why they called!

[Old_Geezer]

Are you sure it was who they claimed it was ? Sounds like an attempted international scam to me.

[oliviagrace]

It was a recorded message that said "This is a message from e-bay"and I didn't wait to hear any more, Just put the phone down and tried to go back to sleep.

American evening/night time; perhaps the call originated there

I also received a phone call at 1am Sun/Mon morning. It was my drunken daughter testing her phone grrr!

I have used Ebay for several years and not once have they phoned me. I would go with the view that it was some sort of scam.

Ive been on Ebay for years and have never received a call. Think the only one I have heard they do now is if you are trying to verify a new bank account and online it says do you want a call now or in 5 mins and you have to choose which one. then you get an automated call.

if you have never registered on ebay, how would they have your number? SCAM!!!!
