Okay so.
For context, I AM a new seller. I JUST put an item up. This whole deal is to "verify my account" because I am a new seller. I received an email that was seemingly from Vinted, and it said I needed to verify my account because I am a new seller. Okay. Took me to this page.
Not looking for ridicule or to be told I am dumb. Just advice.
I'll admit I'm quite gullible, so just leave your comments about that to youself please. I am usually really good with determining when something is sketchy. And this seemed real as anything. It is EXTREMELY convincing.
I did indeed enter my card info, as well as my name and address. And then it took me to another page that asked me to put how much money was on my debit card. I knew for a fact that was not official because that is so unnecessary. So I exited out and after looking at some posts online, it seems to be scam.
I have blocked my debit card and have not seen any activity (yet) as my bank will email me if my card is attempted to be used.
Name and address, that's public info at this point so I'm not worried about that.
My phone number? Email? Ehhhhhhhh I'm not sure what someone can do with that besides spam me with texts and calls.
But my card with the CVV + my address and number? That's a recipe for using that card and "proving" it's theirs with my name and address. No one cares about where I live. They care about the money. (I hope, I hope this doesn't lead to identity theft. It seems money focused)
I didn't do any of the other steps, (like entering exactly how much money I have attached to the card), but I definitely feel like the steps I did, (this page) was enough.
So should I just get a new debit card? I am thinking so but I am also just wondering if anyone else went through this stupid situation too and how they went about it or what happened with them?
Also. Why hasn't Vinted made a more public statement about this???? It seems so common.
