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. |

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

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. |

Yep, saw that one myself. Wasn't on ebay tho, it was emailed to me. I'm surprised Ebay allow such a scam on their website, or maybe they don't even know. |
