In recent days, people have received an email purporting to be from the online giant – complete with accurate headings and logos.

Hide AdOne reader who received the email said: “The logo and headings are spot on but the email address is suspect. It is really dodgy and easy to fall for.
He added: “It all looks very good and well written. But they tell you that your bank details do not match the ones they have, and ask for the billing address and to confirm bank details in full, and your email.
“It's the scammer's email that gives the clue...very easy to fall for if stressed and in a hurry.”
