Warning : Dodgy Email In New Format From Ebay.com

Hi All,

I trade on ebay and got an email today from a so called ebay member asking for my posting / payment details. I currently have no items listed and was a bit wary. I checked the ebay user (4278judy) and found they had not been a registered user since March 05 in the USA. Just thought I'd better warn other ebay users.

Regards

    I had an email like this as well. Looked exactly like eBay member asking question email but on hovering over the link revealed the true nature. One was asking for postage cant remember what the other one asked. I too didn’t have any auction running so immediately had reservations about the true sender of the email.
