Even the mighty fall

Well – I guess it had to happen eventually. I got caught by a phishing scam this morning, posing as a question from a potential buyer from eBay. Luckily I realised almost as soon as I had submitted my details on the fake site, and so have changed all my details accordingly.

I feel so ashamed :(

    Woopsie! Good job you realised soon enough.

  4. They (the phishers) are getting very good at those, in general; they’re more and more convincing all the time. Nothing to be ashamed of, but a very good reminder to be wary.

    Glad you got your info changed promptly!
