flatsixkicks???
Last month, I saw an item on ebay listed by flatsixkicks. I sent him a question, he responded (one word response) and then a friend directed me to this link. I passed on the item then today I get this message from ebay:
Our records show that you recently received an email from flatsixkicks through the Ask Seller a Question or Contact eBay Member features. This email may be fraudulent and an attempt to do one of the following:
- Obtain your eBay password
- Gain access to your eBay account
- Use your eBay account for fraudulent activity
- Set up an outside-of-eBay transaction which may be fraudulent
This kind of email is often called a "phish" or "phishing attempt," and the people who send them are known as "phishers." Phishers use these methods to try to get your personal information, such as user names, passwords and credit card details. Because the emails may sometimes come through the eBay system, the phisher may seem to be trustworthy and have a good reason to contact you.
The message goes on but this is the first time I've gotten anything like this.
Just wanted to keep the word out about this guy.....
