watch out for phishing email from mdl25

seems like someone got the login for this user's account and sending more phishing emails with links to fake TRF site looking to steal logins, the usual scam

I got a message from him too, and when I checked the actual address that was behind the link he sent, it was actually a link to a Russian site!

Same here. Didn’t click on the link and encouraged him to just PM me here to confirm anything.

This guy inquired about a watch I have listed today asking me to confirm the listing. I did click on the link but did not enter my credentials for login. Dodged a bullet!

He reached out to me as well for my listing. Sent same link, but said something about it was his birthday. Immediately changed my password.

He is also using a similar email to soycowboy

Watch out!

Got the exact same thing.

Weird thing is that his PM no longer shows in my message history, but maybe that’s because RF staff removed him?

I did respond to his email but did not click on his link. It also smelled fishy so I also changed my PW and did the two factor authentication thing.

Is all that sufficient or do I need to do more?
