I assume this is some sort of fraudulent email but please can someone confirm. I received it today after updating someone on my ph advert. To anyone reading this - I wouldn't recommend clicking any of the links...

Scam.

I'll pass it on.

Thought so. Thanks for confirming.

[JD PH]

Just to confirm, this is absolutely a scam. PistonHeads will NEVER contact you to ask for log in information or payment details etc.

Thanks
