Second Chance Offer emails with the subject of "message from eBay Member" are fake. Real Second Chance Offers come directly from eBay and also appear in My Messages with a subject stating "eBay Second Chance Offer for item...".

Never pay for your eBay item using instant case wire transfer services through Western Union or MoneyGram. These payment methods are unsafe when paying someone you don't know. Learn more about sending payments.

Had one just like it.  It's a scam just forward it to ebay to investagate.  Dont respond what ever you do because they often contain a virus.  Good luck with the N95 though

[Proz]

Ive had similar too .... dont touch it and forward to ebay

Scam. You are prone to them, selling things like mobiles on eGay.

Whoever buys it, don't be surprised if in about 6-8 weeks after you've sent it, Paypal all of a sudden take all the money back from you.
