Hello everyone! Following a purchase on Ebay (a perfect purchase received on time, no problem with the seller), I received a fraudulent email telling me that the item was blocked, that I had to pay 2 euros in customs fees, an email sent by GLS.(TradingCompany.com), and when it came time to pay, I noticed that at the bottom of the page where they ask for details (postal and...banking..!), a mandatory 41 Euro subscription sneaks in in very small print after the usual "I acknowledge and accept blah, blah, blah,"just before clicking on the next page where we are supposed to pay the customs fees !!! I stopped the process and contacted Ebay, they took the info and of course told me that I had done the right thing by canceling everything with this bogus email, but I also wanted to warn the Community, there you go, have a good day everyone, the title of the fraudulent email is "COLIS AVIS". Now, how did they know that I had bought an item on Ebay, mystery..?
