I want to send the photo to you to make sure it’s same as what I want, Would you give me your skype or E maiI .then we can talk about details. I wanna buy it today.Howlong will the shipping take to California? you can change the E maiI formats like this xxxx AT xxx DOT xxx ,then send me. Or you can a better photo like inside of jersey the washing labels etc to my E maiI at (maike9384 AT outlook DOT com ). Hope hear from you soon

I mean if he has any questions he can just ask me through my eBay email. For some reason I feel like it's a scam?

This is the second time I've gotten one from California same exact question....

I got the same exact email about a SF giants jersey I have listed. I sent an response viamy junk email account and never heard anything...must be a new type if scam!

Only reason I did it is because I thought we could set up a local pickup as I'm in the bay area

I do not contact anyone outside of eBay channels. Just in case an issue occurs.

I think it is a pfishing scam to get your email address.

Works like this:

The scammer, who now has your email addy, sends you a fake email that looks identical to the ebay emails you get. It will prompt you to sign in on that email or link, and ta-da! They now have your password.

They either use your ebay account in a fraudulent manner, or try to buy stuff, using your PP account.

IF IT ISN'T SENT THROUGH THE EBAY MESSAGING SYSTEM, DO NOT REPLY TO IT!!!!!
