I suspect I am not alone in having received my fair amount of scams etc posing as eBay/paypal however what happened yesterday was nonetheless a shock and something that I've not experienced before.
I received an email notification / formal bill for £38 from eBay UK to make payment for an Xbox game ( download) that I had not made.
Immediatley I thought of scam, however when I logged into my eBay acct ( EBay FR ( I live in France), sure enough the sale was there.
I contacted the seller who initially told me that I had to request a cancellation of the order, something that the listing would not let me do, stating, when I tried, that it was to late to cancel!!
Fortunately the seller accepted that I needed him to do the cancellation not that I would have paid for the item anyway.
I have absolutely no idea how the "purchase" came about as I definitley did not make it.
Even if I had made an accidental purchase it would never be for a video game as I don't have any interest in them.
Has anyone alse experienced a similar scenario and if so, was it some sort of scam?
I hope it doesn't happen again as tbh I found it a little unnerving.
