Hope you did not click on any links

That certainly looks like a phising scam

For a start, eBay do not call you 'dear customer'

That is obviously not how eBay Australia would type a date

And a totally bogus email address and phone number

Was this in your eBay messages?

What is your question for other members?

Did you click on a scammy link?

IF so, you are going to want to act fast

Change ALL your passwords

Notify eBay

Run a deep virus scan etc etc

SCAM.

100% scam.

It’s not even a sophisticated scam.

Don’t click. Don’t reply. Don’t call.

If you have, immediately contact Scamwatch - https://www.scamwatch.gov.au/report-a-scam. You may also need to report to Cyber.gov.au (https://www.cyber.gov.au/report-and-recover/recover-from/scams). That’s just the start.

You are spot on about it not being a sophisticated scam

I just got (what I assume) is a similar one

I didn't open it but the subject heading was 'dear customer you paid with PayPal'

No longer have a PayPal account and haven't in a couple of years

Email was sent to an email address never used for PayPal when I did have it

I receive countless scam emails. Literally, of course, I could count them, but it would be a huge task with no benefit.

Most of these are automatically directed to my spam folders. I check these to be sure legitimate emails haven’t been blocked… and see the plethora of sheer rubbish sitting there. Mostly - obvious. Some are a little more sophisticated. So far all are detectable as spam / scams to the naked eye (well, to my naked eye).

But I don’t doubt that the scamming spamming stuff will become ever more convincing and I’d be a fool to be complacent. 

How are less scam-savvy people going to cope as these scams increase in being convincing?
