I get these all the time, never clicked on them but guess it’s some Trojan horse/virus attempt

Seems tidily cheap?🤔
It was going so well. I made an inquiry and that said they would include VAT and had the V5 for it. All going well. Then when I asked for there VAT invoice so I could pay for it, as soon as I arrived to collect it, in Bristol, just a short trip away from me. They went very quiet. Eventually got an email from eBay saying account had been hacked and not to respond to anyone about the machine

Yes. Looks very European. The wheel barrow looks British though. The truck looks like its got a trailer (drag) so pointing more to Europe

Auto Ireland ltd

Using covid 19 as a way to scam people now

There is a genuine registered company behind this Ross. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/NI608109

It might be that someone has hijacked their website domain and using it for their own devices. When you go to the "about us" tab, the picture used is one of Alexander Tractors yard and their annual stock clearance auctions that they used to hold.
I think looking at the "stock" pictures that they are from anywhere in Europe, but Enniskillen :oops:

I got my facebook scamed yesterday somebody in london on a vodafone mobile phone in london broke into my facebook when I was not on it just after someone from northants on a windows running on 10 using crome hacked into it and facebook noticed it as they done it didnot see warning till later changed all my passwords but as nothing was open didnot get much except my email address which they then used to open an account at team viewer a german base chinese company like whats app much used in Europe so I had to forgot password and took it off them.When I challenged facebook it said it must be one of your friends as Im a sad B I have only got 58 and one of them died and they have not been hacked think that is highly unlikely think it was facebook it self what got hacked because they knew it was hacked live I thought I would warn you all about it

I'd check your security again if I was you, Bob. Team Viewer is a remote desktop application which allows another computer to take control of yours. I've used it for remote configuration of someone elses PC but it does give you access to pretty much everything on that PC and if you use a browser to store passwords (for websites or banking) then these are accessible too. I have the same level of security on my phone as my laptop - antivirus, firewalls, VPNs etc.
