Just completed a purchase - I love eBay. The page https://order.ebay.com/ord/show?/ViewPaymentStatus&purchaseOrderId=08-1019-210991#/
lead me to a page where I could get a "Free Gift" if I answered a 1 minute survey.
so I did. Last question was would I be willing to pay $6.25 for shipping for my "Free" Dyson vacuum.
At this point I knew it was a scam but I figured I could get enough info to help someone else. So I continued. Finally got to the place where they wanted me to put in my credit card information. They let me know that if I clicked ok and put in my information, I agreed to their "Terms and Conditions". "Terms and Conditions" was a link. I clicked on the link but nothing happened so I looked at the source for the page I was on and found the link to https://prizeshopusaonline.com//swas-dys-v1/terms/ where I learned that if I agreed then I would only be liable for $132/month until I managed to connect with their company to cancel. So I decided not to play anymore but I wanted to warn our eBay community that eBay was allowing this company to be associated with eBay. The initial page was presented to me by eBay. I hope someone knows how to let the wonderful folks at eBay know that they are facilitating a rip-off.
