I got an Email today at my BT account asking for a refund for some 'cards' I never sold. The Ebayer is a registered user based in America, Ebay I.D. :- heather32386. If you receive an Email requesting a refund on any item that you have not sold. Whatever you do, don't submit your password or any other details. I put 'michealmouse' in the I.D. box, a very naughty word in the password box and was then forwarded to the actual items this person had for sale! In all, a very cunning way to obtain Ebayer's personal details. I bet thousands of people have fell for this one!
