I seem to recall that the item number did not exist. I simply deleted it and took no further action. Dave. |

As they did not use the £ symbol I would assume they live in a country that does not have that on the keyboard.
Certainly sounds like a scam.

To get a £ sign, Alt 156 works for me.

E-Bay Sellers BEWARE
EBay Buyers beware too! Several years ago I put a "saved search" on EBay where if an item came up that I was looking for, ebay would notify me! I received a notification and clicked on the link to the item and, well to cut a long story short I ended up buying a new computer as the virus the link contained, totally knackered my original one!
So whatever you do DONT CLICK ON THE LINK. Regards Tony |

On the subject of scams I just thought I'd add this one which is doing the rounds, nearly got me this time! Applies to anyone with a bt yahoo email account. Asking for you to upgrade as the classic version is closing - provides a link to ...what will be a scam website which will hijack your email account.
The senders email address has nothing to do with bt or yahoo and looks like some individual Joe. |
