Received PM then it was mysteriously deleted?

So I received a PM from a member regarding a watch I have fo sale. Then oddly the PM was no longer in my messages and If I click on the link that was sent to my email address it brings to the TRF login page...something just doesn’t seem right here.

Lol it’s a phishing link. The PM was deleted because the user had his account banned.

If you click the link and log in, all of your info will be compromised. The email was a scam and an attempt to steal your log in info...

Did you log into the fake link?

OP: How did that member send you an email? You don’t show one in your listings.

Of course, as Tim asked, if you logged in after clicking the link then you probably have been compromised.

You should enable 2FA as soon as possible if you didn’t log into that link.

Somehow, someone has picked your ID to attempt a hijack methinks.

Wouldn’t hurt to enable two factor authentication as Paul suggested.
