I got an intriguing email from eBay today asking me to verify my details because a fraudulent bid had been made with my accout. Interestingly it was sent to the email address that I don’t use for my eBay account. To see a copy of it click here.
It is of course a spoof email designed to steal my details and defraud me. First time I had ever received one though and it is probably because I have just started to sell a number of items that I don’t want anymore. Too much stuff and not enough space syndrome. It is quite a cathartic process to declutter my life. I’ve dumped a load of old magazines and comics for recycling that weren’t worth selling as well.
