I checked the wiki but didn't see any mention of this particular phishing attempt.

I received a fairly innocuous message regarding my advert saying "Hi, is your car still for sale? Thanks.". I replied (from my mail account) stating that it is still for sale. A couple of hours later I received an email from "Pistonheads" telling me "Your card was not processed", followed by a link to rectify the 'issue'.

Obviously the first question was an attempt to get my email address to follow up with the phishing mail. Just thought you guys (and anyone else) should be aware.

Same again here with repeated messages to update my card details.
