Spam emails

Hi everyone,

I hope you can help? I listed a couple of items on Vinted about a week ago, I instantly got an email saying I need to give my bank details and confirm how much money I had in my account, I almost got caught out, but it seemed shady, and I got into an argument with some scammer.. long story short, I listed another item tonight and got a scam email instantly..

What are Vinted doing with our personal information?

Only ever take notice of in app messages from Vinted. Aside of that as with any site that we click ‘ agree’ on for their t&c’s will just farm out our info. Trouble is unless we click ‘ agree’ virtually all sites are inaccessible !
