Just thought I'd warn you all.
Yesterday I received weird emails from "ebay" and "paypal".
Next thing I know imm getting questions about a tractor I listed???
Thankfully both customer services are on it.

Just remember Ebay and Paypal use your name on the email not Dear Customer Etc,

Had occasional weird emails myself, with 'Dear Customer' heading them. I always bin them.

I dont get many these days, and when I do I tend to delete them and not worry, its funny as I dont run anti virus, just windows seurity centre on pc, Tablet and phone are android and unprotected and I dont shred my post.......... Maybe im too much of a bum to get hacked or scammed ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Ignore. Fake paypal emails saying well done on buying something, of course it's not something you bought so there's a handy link in the email to click and login to your account, by which time they have your login details. Lowlife scumbags
