Hi all,
I have just received a suspicious email from Ebay. Any advice appreciated.
"This email was sent automatically by eBay in response to your request to recover your password. This is done for your protection; only you, the recipient of this email can take the next step in the password recover process."
Further down, it says:-
This request was made from:
IP address: 115.49.104.157
Which appears to be somewhere in China!
I haven't clicked on the email link, I have logged in to my ebay account and checked that no activity has taken place and I have changed my password for a better one. Ebay don't make it simple to contact them via email, is there anything else I might need to do?
Delete the e-mail and take no action. They are trying to steal your details most probably. >:(
:iagree: It's a typical phishing attempt.
QuoteDelete the e-mail and take no action.
Yep. Done that. Fingers crossed.
Just done a full virus scan as well, seems OK.
That's a very common phishing attempt which has been around for quite a few years. I've received myself a number of times even though I've never used eBay. You've done all the right things :)
Ebay used to have an email address you could send phishing ones to for them to check out - think it is spoof@ebay.com
