Hi to all you people who know computers and stuff that I dont ;-)
I recieved this message from ebay:
Dear eBay customer,

How do I know if that came from ebay or if I click that link that I will send a scammer my information which they can then use my details for??
I mean they say at the bottom not to email them within 72 hours as it will cause delays. Is that tim efor them to use my credit card before I notify anybody???
So either somebody already has stolen my details and had been caught by ebay and I need to click the link to make them do something OR somebody is trying to get my details and by clicking the link I will give them what they need.
If anyone has any idea please help me as I need to do something if it is for real.
Click or not to click...That is the question ;-)
