Hallo my friend, I hope all is well, the E-BAY warning was also issued in the UK so it would appear to be an international alert, but I am glad you highlighted it. :thumbup: shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Personally I haven't really seen it yet... been redirected only twice...once to HobbyRaw..and one to a train site.... did sign into Hobbyraw which I thought was kind of cheesy of them to do business like that... but not the train site...don't like personal stuff all over the place especially when it deals with finances
Thing is on those two ...the sites are legit... this one sounds more dangerous...like another Ebay site...kind of like ALIEXPRESS...So definitely yes...spread the word.. it's better to be safe than sorry :D
