800-540-3229

Hi, whoever calls this number beware! These scumbag scammers are using the fact that Ebays help number which is 866-540-3229 is similar to the number they have taken out of 800-540-3229. If you accidentally dial 800 instead of 866 for this number you will end up with someone saying they are doing a promotion of Caribbean Cruises through Ebay and are trying to get your money and credit card information. Do not fall for it. These people are a disease to the rest of mankind which is struggling to make ends meet. Ruthless [***] ... I hope they get caught and are put in jail where they belong. AL

Just got the same thing.
They claim to be in partnership with Alamo.
They do a hard sell and try to get you to give up your credit card number

I made the mistake of calling 1800 instead of 1866.  I answered yes to wanting a cruise and yes to visiting florida, then it hung up.  Am I safe? or was I scammed somehow?

Had to contact ebay customer service so I googled it and got 1800 540 3229. I got the ebay reps are busy and will send you a Walmart gift certificate if you send cash for processing. I hung up (no info given) but was shocked that the # was 1st on the google page. Reported it to ebay and hope no unsuspecting person falls for it. Google needs to rectify the wrong phone #.

EBay's customer service # is 1-800...These guys are 1-866...I suspect that you will find the google # is a 1-866 and these credit card fraudsters are  1-800 followed by the rest of google's number.

same thing happened to me just now....calling to verify a credit and as i was talking to them ...the background noise was so loud....the entire time i was giving them our credit card i was telling myself something is wrong!!! as soon as i realized what i did i recalled them to get a message that they were closed after business hours,,,i called from my home number and when i finally got a agent they asked for my card information to process the credit....when i refused the witch hung up on me and blocked my home number,,,,I FEEL SO STUPID...I ALWAYS TELL MY HUSBAND NEVER GIVE CREDIT CARD INFORMATION OUT OVER THE PHONE AND I WAS THE DUMMY THAT DID IT!!!!!

They ask all personal information.

does anyone know who they actually are? i gave them my info, then called back to cancel ... let me know if they are just solicitors or they are something dangerous ...

I called EBay customer service and got a very very pushy woman. She already knew my address which scares the daylights out of me. She told me eBay was giving me a 100.00 gift card. Then she asked me for my credit card . I said no and she got really really mad. She said it was a one time fee. I said no and she argued with me. I hung up. She really screamed and got nasty. I’m worried they have my address.

That was not EBay.  I am curious to know how you happened to call that number.  Did you get an email or voicemail asking you to call?
I wouldn't worry too much if "They" have your number. I am guessing "They" do. And so do the North Korean, the Russians and the Chi-Coms and none of them have been dropping by for milk and cookies, right?

Made the mistake of calling bc this number came up first when googling ebay customer service they wanted my credit card information then when I refused and said I paid through paypal he said no he wanted the card number I refused he started yelling saying he wanted the number, man im not a little guy either if I could find this POS I would break him in half... slowly... make sure you dial 866 not 1800

WHY can't somebody put a stop to the type of fraud???? These people should be arrested.  Can't believe any crook can get a telephone number and bother/scam people like this.  Why can't the phone companies have strick
rules as to who gets a phone number...UGH
