I normally do not fall for email scams, but they finally got me. I received an email and it was from a friend, but he said he did not send the email. Within the email it had a link: "http://www.newsatunow.net/jobs/?finance=89551"
I clicked the link thinking it was trustworthy and thought this site was a local TV news station article. Within this webpage I clicked a link named: "The Online Income System" it took me here: " http://keywebjobs.com/lander/blueoffer/?aff_sub=h*o&source=advplat " I should have researched this site, but thinking it was from a trusted friend I enrolled and paid $99.00 USD and at this point I started researching this site and found out I was tricked into purchasing this product represented as "eBay's Power Seller University". At the bottom of the page it has a disclaimer that I was purchasing eBay's Power Seller University. I went back to the previous site: "http://www.newsatunow.net/jobs/?finance=89551" and I clicked on one of the navigation buttons at the top of the page and it took me to: "http://keywebjobs.com/lander/blueoffer/?aff_sub=h*o&source=advplat" This is when I realized that this was a scam to get me to purchase eBay's Power Seller University. The above practice of marketing is fraudulent and deceiving.
I hope that eBay does not use this practice of marketing. I don't know if eBay can take any actions to let consumers be aware of this fraudulent site ?
