Internet Auction Fraud incidents are on the rise rise recently, read this post to be aware.
Have you recently received any email purportedly from Ebay or any other auction company online? The email is either about a seller making a complaint about you and your not paying for an item you have purchased, or maybe the company is sending you an email to update your account details.
I have received several of those phony and fraudulent messages. What happens is, they indicate a link on the email for you to click which leads you to a “phishing” site, or a website where they can collect your personal data.
Whenever you get an email like this, and doubt that you really made any purchases recently using that company, the first thing to do is NOT to click any of those links. Instead go to the official site of the company, if you know it, and send their support department or customer service an email. Forward to them the email you have received to verify if it really is from them.
These recent fraudulent emails look so real actually that you can easily fall for it.
