For an item I had put up for sale, I received various requests for clarification and in the end, instead of confirmation of the purchase, I received 13 euros in my account via bank transfer, corresponding to the cost of any shipping. I became suspicious because I had not yet given my IBAN, which this person probably knew from a previous attempted scam against me elsewhere, still related to the same item. Perhaps this time he thought that if the purchase fell through, I would return the 13 euros and he would perhaps have the chance to learn my card number, which had already been requested previously with a fake link, so I was forced to block and replace the previous one. I think this message is useful to help other people avoid unpleasant experiences.
