Default Obvious scam

Try a different browser and see what you get. It can be that you have some
kind of add replacement worm on the machine. After all if its possible to
use add blocking its just as possible to have it redirect to another site.


Try it from other computers and maybe a mobile device as well. If the add
is still the same I'd suggest its Ebay who are talking out of their bums.

You are then invited to fill in a survey form, with then 3 chances to
win an Iphone 11. You always win the Iphone 11, it then takes you to
another page, where you are expected to fill in your credit card details
(assume) so they can charge you £1 for your phones delivery.


I'm surprised Ebay allow such a scam on their website, or maybe they
don't even know.


I hope you told them. Unlike FB, they're quite good at removing scams.


Ebay looked into it and they say the link is from my browser, no from
Ebay. Any ideas how to proceed?
