Received an email from a friend where he was apparently having difficulties with his E Bay account and he would appreciate me sending an E Bay voucher for £50 to his niece, giving her details, and he would reimburse me from his bank account.
So I said to him (he was sitting comfortably in a chair in my garden) - really?
Needless to say he didn't even have a niece and was surprised to learn that his contacts had been hacked.#
Upshot was that he then emailed all his contacts to advise them of the fraud.
Are there any other frauds circulating at present that we ought to be aware of?
