Hi.
I have just received a suspicious email claiming to be from ebay, it looks authentic.
Its wanting confirmation of order #xxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxx.
I have no outstanding ebay orders. I have had one recent item delivered the day before this suspicious email. The order numbers do not match. I think it may be a scam of some sort.
Could you advise me if I should ignore this email please?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sandypebbles.
I never click on web links unless I fully trust the sender.
No, they don't address me by my name.
I've just blocked the sender.
Thanks for the confirmation. A person can't be too careful these days.
I had an email the other day pretending to be from Aust Post asking me to click on a link and provide an updated mailing address.
When I asked Aust Post, they said they'd never send any emails asking that, as they would already have my address from the moment I made the purchase from the online form.
Once again, thanks.

if it's not in eBay messages it's bogus......so send to spoof@ebay.com

From what you have said, I would say certainly sounds like a scam
Do not click on any links in the email
Is the message also in your eBay messages?
Does the email address you by name?

You are most welcome
I have had a few of those 'Australia Post emails in the past couple of days too
This 'eBay one' is definitely another Spammy McSpamface job
