Yesterday I bought a Fortnite Skin Code via Ebay.
The merchant asked me to send a picture of my identity card + phone number to identify me.
To that one could see my residential address via Ebay.
Thus, I have my full name, image of my ID card, mobile phone number and home address shared.
What makes me skeptical now is that despite the 50 euro Paypal transfer and the data have not received any code and I was asked to the phone bill and electricity bill proof.
am I just caught in a scammer trap or is that legitimate?
It was warned against this scam with ID etc

I would not give away such data in general. Do you know what happens to it? No! Now it's too late, because you can only hope that the seller delivers. Otherwise ebay report. 🙊
With your data and your photo, you can open accounts anywhere, commit Internet fraud (cash in, without delivering goods), shopping on your behalf, without paying, fake IDs - all at your expense and you are liable for everything and everything civil law (you must replace all financial damages) and also criminally (fraud notice, etc.)!
In addition, your data may be sold very expensively for promotional purposes, and you may end up being charged with post and promotional advertising.
You should have asked us BEFORE you give the data unknown!
Call the police, describe the process and ask what you should do. I hope you did not give away your bank account. If yes, lock the account immediately and let you give new access data from the bank!
I got my money back so far, after which I said I would like to release any further data. However, I was something the rest of something blue-eyed
Have the identity card my face covered, and otherwise mobile number because I thought I'll vlt informed by phone.
Residential address and mobile number were deposited on Ebay, got my money back when I say I will not share any further data.
The dealer has the money back by Paypal.
Would he transfer the money back if he betrayed me?
And the data except Perso he would have got as synonymous.
Would he transfer the money back if he betrayed me?
Most likely not. Maybe you were lucky, what I wish you. But be vigilant and before you give away any data again, ask us BEFORE!
