Title: Co-incidence
Post by: Lona on April 26, 2004, 17:59

I recently reported a seller on ebay and within hours I received two emails supposedly from Ebay asking for my user name and password. The second email asked for my credit card details. I have forwarded them to Ebay and they are going to investigate them. Is it just a co-incidence or am I paranoid.  :o :o :o

Well spotted Lona, it defintely sounds like this 'phishing' thing.  E-bay would not ask for those details by e-mail.

You may be paranoid Lona, but it dosen't mean they are not out to get you  ;D

I had one of them once, emails that is.
