Does anyone know about a possible scam from Singapore?
Summary: patphotog shared an experience of receiving a suspicious offer on eBay from a user in Singapore with zero feedback, which directed them to a phishing link. genre.s responded by sharing their own negative experiences with transactions from Singapore on eBay, stating that they have stopped dealing with that country due to lost items in the mail. john_koenig99 noted that the discussion is old, referring to it as a 'ZOMBIE thread,' and a participant announced that the thread has been closed due to its age, inviting new threads for continued discussion.
Here how it goes;
Someone send me an offer to the exact amount of my asking price...here's the note attach to the offer.
Hi my friend. I try to pay through PayPal and same with the Bank account it says that the seller does not accept the payment method for now and sends me this article: https://offer.ebay.co.uk.check-sales.ga/? =&trksid=p3692IwAR0lB6Y422LMO0000h

I have not done so.
Fishing for user name and password seems to be their goal.
I have received this kind of "fake offer" 3 times already...every time from Singapore from different users with zero feedback.
Did this happen to anyone else?
