Do you mean you got a phishing email from a scammer?

 

Or a scam phone call ?

 

If so, I hope you have not clicked on any links

 

And if you did, you need to take serious action

are you sure the email is legit?

eBay will never phone you to “warn” you that a fraudulent purchase has been made with your account.

 

That is a classic scammer call.

 

NEVER do any of the following with a call claiming to be from eBay (or indeed any business or agency contacting you out of the blue):

 

• confirm you have an eBay account

• confirm your name, address, DOB, etc

• provide your card details

• download any app that is supposedly a secure server for refund purposes 

• click links

• call, or email, or visit webpage when any of these are given by the caller (as you should always use the correct web address, the official (on official site) contact details, and so on)

• spend more than a few seconds on such criminals.

 

Don’t give them any information.

 

If you have, be prepared for credit card fraud, identity theft, further spam/scam emails and calls…

 

 

Do not click on any links please. It sounds 100% like a scam.
