Bank details update - genuine request or phishing?
Summary: cocosanne received a suspicious email asking them to confirm their bank details via a potentially fraudulent link. koalagris and lingma85 advised not to reply to the email and to avoid the link provided, instead suggesting checking directly on eBay's official website for any legitimate request. They highlighted the phishing risks associated with these types of messages.
Hello,
I received an email and see a red banner telling me that action is required to confirm my bank account.
Everything points to the site below (with many more letters after the .fr because it’s a page concerning my account)
https://www.riskremedyweb.ebay.fr
Is this a legitimate request or a scam?
Thanks for your feedback!

Mentor2 years agoHello @cocosanne
DO NOT RESPOND.....
Site indicated as fraudulent.... it's better to avoid it....
Besides, eBay indicates that you should NEVER go to a link indicated in a so-called email from them... ( = phishing risk..)
Go directly to your eBay account to see whether you are being asked for any verification...
https://ppcapp.ebay.fr/myppc/wallet/list
and you go to payment... If there is a need, it will be indicated there....
Kind regards
