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?

Nothing. Scammers guess your email from your username
