    Heads up to anyone who lists on nextdoor or similar sites, I listed something today and got an email from nextdoor saying I need to put in bank card details to see the message someone sent me, which was annoying but no more annoying than all these sites that think they're being super efficient by asking for a ton of info immediately and unnecessarily.

    So I put in my card details and then it asked for balance and I was like 'hmm, that kinda makes sense verification-wise but I have not been asked that before except by solicitors so imma look that up' so looked online and apparently this is a nextdoor account having been hacked thing. Quite embarrassed for them they're being criminal for less than a hundred quid tbh

    Anyway, logged into bank account app and balance was the same so immediately froze the card and requested it be cancelled. Hopefully no harm done but very annoying! At least I had the sense to put the details of my least used account in.

    But thought I'd put the reminder to be proper wary, as it seemed very much like the sort of thing a kosher site would do and there was padlock on link address, but that doesn't reflect what's happening internally in one's nextdoor etc account!
