I also received this email in poorly wording English asking me to call this number to cancel an eBay transaction. I received it on 28 September like everyone else but I don't regularly check my junk folder where it went. Didn't call. Obviously a scam. Not least because I do not have an eBay account.

got the exact same email on the same day as you aswell, I dont have an Ebay account for a split second was wondering if someone stole my address and is using it then i thought it was still fishy even after thinking that.

Same issue that received an email with a message that a suspicious payment was blocked and asked me to call them to confirm whether it was genuine.
When I called them, no answer.

Caller: email allegedly from eBay

Exactly the same here - email from eBay stating there was suspected fraudulent billing of my account for $449.00 for AVAST protection. I had not made this transaction. I phoned the number 3 times and there was no answer, then searched for the number. Thanks so much for all your posts.

Caller: Email from "Ebay Internet Security"

Same as others - scam email purportedly from EBay about a payment for Avast security, telling me to call back on this number.

Received an email (in poorly wording English) and was asked to call this number to cancel transaction. Didn't call. Obviously a scam.

toally scammer, same as above an email saying suspicious payment for AVAST protection and call this number.

Scam email with this number.
