Phishing is a common form of cybercrime and unfortunately due to its effectiveness this method of fraud is on the increase all the time. Whether it’s through emails, texts or directly on social media the message is usually attempting to get people to respond with their personal information, in the case of eBay Motors Group this would relate to your Dealer Centre login details. The best defense is awareness and knowing what to do if you are targeted.
