Heads up - Dodgy contact email - beware

[Moonshane]

hi all

Just sent an email to ABS and the seller about someone asking me for details of what the answer is to the security question - never give this out (obviously). see below. googling an email address of a possible buyer is always good sense.

>>moonshane at shane.farrell67@sky.com is interested in your UK Astronomy Buy & Sell advert for:

Helios 7X50 HR Ultimate Binoculars (advert number 69306)

hi there

I just got this email today. I have informed Paul about if but thought I'd give you a heads up in case it is a fraud attempt. in fact just googled the email address and it's dodgy so beware
