I can't access the last post - on ebay scam etc. Is it the word Ph*sh that makes our spam scanner go off?

could be Ina...

Andy's post was a warning about ebay scam emails... and how to report them and avoid falling foul of the ph*shermen.

Have a look at the post on my puter tomorrow if you like...

Thanks - I suppose I'm ok as long as I don't use e-bay... And I've kept well away from that temptation so far!

What does that word mean anyway?

Don't worry Ina I just posted on the other thread that I had never ever used ebay, wanted nothing to do with it, know nothing about it and ban their uninvited emails!

Phishing isn't just restricted to ebay emails though.....
