I've had an email saying it was from ebay. I know it wasnt but it looked very official. Said that my account had been used abroad and they needed to verify my account. Wanted credit card details and bank account details. I deleted it. But beware, it does look as though it comes from ebay. Margaret

Paul I've had one today and it looks very real. If I hadn't already read about it I might have been taken in. Thing is I havent used ebay for ages. Not just credit card details, want full bank account details too. Margaret

Just remember ANY email asking for c/c or bank details is likely to be a con and either forwarded to the company it says it's from or deleted immediately. Naomi x
