After a few months of concentrated attacks on UK bank customers it appears that the "ne'er do wells" have turned their attention back to Ebay - so watch out for new fake emails slipping through the net. These emails can catch you unawares if you trade on Ebay. See a July example here.

Such phishing emails impersonate genuine organisations such as a Bank, Paypal or Ebay. Their aim is to tempt you to enter account or personal details into a fake site. The details are collected and either used in fraudulent actions or are sold on.

There has also been a rise in the incidence of "pump and dump" spam - this month which are being sent in large numbers as pdf attachments to emails. These emails, and or pdfs, carry an image that promotes buying stock market shares. They hope that lots of people will react to the tip and buy the (previously very cheap) shares pushing the price up. Of course the originator sells their shares at the top of the market and the shares return to their previously low value leaving many people out of pocket. Here's one we received earlier.
