Someone is asking me to get them a housing voucher???
Someone messaged me:
"So why did you guys kick me out the fantastic four because Hope Sandoval?"
"They got a save the million girls from getting **bleep** you think I **bleep** somebody."
"Kill Lauren Delgado whole family. Kill Miranda Cosgrove whole family. Kill Emily Velasquez please. Kill Fidel Castro whole family. Kill Gustavo Gareces whole family. Kill merrick garland whole family. Kill Houston brown whole family."
At first I answered: "I am sorry but I don't know what you are talking about? What are you asking?"
Then they answered:
"I’m asking for a wide variety of things to get done. But for now can you get a housing voucher sent to my house please Montgomery county housing commission."
I am very nervous about this and don't know how to make it stop. I did not answer the second question. I can't seem to contact ebay.

OP4 months agoThank you! I did exactly what you suggested and I will not answer this person again. I will see what ebay has to say about it. Thanks again!

You've very welcome. It's always disconcerting when you are approached by someone who is either unhinged or a scammer. It's behind you now...enjoy your day!
eBay will not tell you what action they take. More than likely though, this person has been spamming multiple accounts (not just yours) and will soon go bye-bye. Regardless, you should not be receiving any more messages from him.

OP4 months agoI hope that is true! Thanks for your help. I can't believe that it seems to be working. No more messages (yet)!

Mentor4 months ago@isness2012.That's an odd one!
Click on the 3 dots on the upper right of the message to report it.
Then add the user ID to your blocked list so they can't message you.
That's all you can do.
