Clasified scam

[Farmer]

Probably old news , but I've currently got a car sale advert on PH classifieds . Got a bogus email today and foolishly followed the link to "pEston heads" and logged in , instantly realized it was a scam and changed my password pronto . Like I say old news to many here but I've not used the classifieds before to sell , and I only dabble here infrequently at the moment .

Tonight some joker has placed 3 random classified adds under my name and deleted my legitimate advert and locked me out of my own account somehow . retrieved my login and changed my password again . WTF? as they say

Sorry you're having issues, someone from the Classifieds team will be along to help you soon.

As you've removed the adverts and reset the password, your account will be safe. Please forward any phishing emails to us, so we can get the websites removed.

Car now sold to trusted Car Buyers for a reasonable price and I've been forced by PH to reset my password yet again to amend my advert which seems a tad overkill as I'd already been given the all clear ( see response above) but hey better safe than sorry as the first time I used PH classifieds to buy some alloys for my old car about 8 years ago it ended in a court case to convict a fraudster.
