Bogus Internet Order

[jennifer rose mann]

hi there,

I wont be the first or the last to receive a bogus internet order. i received one yesterday and thought I should mention it to my Folksy " handmade" members.

It arrived in an email and folksy confirmed it was supiscious. I cant really make it public but if anyonewould like to see the contents let me know- i wtould not want anyone to be taken in  it

thanks - Jenny

Thank you Jenny for the heads up......as a Newbie to both Folksy and UK Handmade, it always helps to have suspicious things confirmed.

 

Kind regards.....diane xx

Thanks for sharing this info Jenny.  Like Rosemarie, I am also new to Folksy and UK Handmade.  Would it be possible for you to email me the contents?  [e-mail]  

Thanks in advance - Anne

Haven't had one like that but had a really worrying one from Hotmail about suspending my account - was quite worried as looked so real - con men again - Just dont open any links etc

All the best - Janet x

This is worrying, I've just recently started to use my Folksy account, is it a confirmation from Folksy email and/or paypal too?

hi gemma,

it was via folksy, who have since removed the person, the email asked a number of questions which did not seem right, ie how much  was the item, did i make it myself etc

I have usd my folksy accountfor sales and all seems ok, but i know some people are way about paypal - agian i have had no problems
