good evening, this is the second time I've gotten these messages from eBay for two different buyers, I don't understand "it seems that you have been in contact with irena_75 and we wish to inform you that we have identified certain security issues related to this account. We invite you to take certain precautionary measures in order to keep your account secure.
Here's what you need to do:
Here's what you need to do:
- Stop all communication with irena_75.
- Do not respond to their buying or selling offers.
- Do not respond to requests to change your order or shipping information.
- Do not click on any links this person sends you and do not copy and paste them.
- If you sent an item to irena_75, contact the carrier to have it returned to you.
- If you made a payment outside of eBay, contact your payment service provider to report a potentially fraudulent transaction.
- Update your password
- Change your secret questions
- Forward all suspicious eBay emails to spoof@ebay.com

You are still the best person to know whether you have had any contact with the ebay members concerned...

before the eBay messages, did you receive this type of message:
"We are pleased to inform you that your item has been sold successfully! However, before you can receive your funds, we need to carry out a small verification of your account.qi18.order****.icuHere’s what you need to do :1. Copy the link above ↑2. Paste this link into the URL address bar3. Complete a quick identity verification "
If so, it’s a scam that’s been on the site for a while. Don’t do anything it says.
