Purchase question

[elainfernande_57]

I got an invoice from an Offer Up seller that has eBay Motors as the company handling the transaction. The invoice came to my email with instructions to open the attached eBay invoice. I don't see any message in my eBay account from eBay Motors and am wondering if there is a possible scam in process since the seller on Offer Up only responds to their personal email address and doesn't use the app's messenger service, which is designed to protect consumers. Does anyone know if there would be any indication in my eBay account if this transaction were legitimate? Thank you!!

You can be assured it's a total scam.

eBay doesn't have anything to do with OfferUp or any other site.

People come here every single day to ask about these scams.
