Obvious scam
 

An ad link on Ebay pages, which links to -

https://reward-zone.co/?keyword=&ad=...AEgJ XEvD_BwE

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?

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.

Malwarebytes is pretty good at expunging this kind of stuff.

Yes it's 2021 and you need to get with the program. Firefox (or forks)
plus uBlock Origin, NoScript and Ghostery. Disable all the scripting
****e as a 1st step and slowly enable the minimum to make the web site
work.

Yes it makes browsing harder but you should be less likely to get
scammed. But if you are already clicking on adverts being displayed your
probably your own worst enemy and there's little hope for you.

Duckduckgo essentials
Ghostery
Privacy Badger (from EFF)
uBlock Origin

On my mobiles I use DuckDuckGo broswer, Firefox focus and Ghostery
browser (the above 4 plugins are not available on Android.)

Thankls for the tip on NoScript, I will look at that.
