Beware - I just received two emails today from "Garrod Jps" stating that they are interested in purchasing one of my items and they direct you to a link to view which item they are speaking of. The link takes you to an eBay sign in page - looks very suspicious! BEWARE!

Never sign into your PayPal or eBay accounts through email links. Big no no. Be safe and go to the sites directly to sign in.

My rule of thumb is make sure your web browser of choice is up to date. When signing into secured websites like PayPal be sure the domain is HTTPS:// not HTTP.
