Warning - Phishing Emails again

Considering @shishy last post was in January and was last logged in in April… don’t fall for this scam.

I got the same email this morning! I just sent a quick reply but the email was fishy as well

Yeah, I got something like this. I just ignored it as when I went to to my PM Inbox, there was no message. To confirm my suspicion, I searched for the sales thread and, of course, found nothing

As a rule, I never click on the links in these types of email, no matter where they come from. I always use the same bookmark to get to the required website and then navigate to where I need to go.

Not Phishing but this email made me smile today….. looks like I am in luck :0)

Also had a "Shishy" Message few days ago, but Mods where quicker than i was deleting the Message from my Inbox 👍 well done!

Although i thought i have seen it all, didnt stop me from falling for another scam few days ago 🤦 luckily was only a moderate amount of 200,-EUR, but it sucks anyways..
What is worse, i even paid through PayPal, but what i missed was that the Sellers account didnt have the possibility of paying using PayPal protection, so it only offered transfer using "Friends" option. i was a bit confused, but thought that PayPal just changed the interface, pressed "Send" and realised that i am in trouble.. 🙁
Actually the first time that i really needed PayPal protection, i realised i had no.. Had i used the direct transfer, i could have stoped it, but with PayPal it didnt work.. this is probably the last time i was using PayPal..

So keep your eyes open, this a-holes are everywhere...
