Fraud??

Can the collective help here, I have my car on P/Heads for sale and I got an E-mail that looked as thought it came from P/Heads. It asked me to log in to read an offer from some guy. The only thing was the address on the bar at the top was not Pistonheads. I went to my advert and no E-mails were showing, if I had put in my username and password it sounds as thought it would have gone to a scammer. Any thoughts?

Me too - it's a scam. He SMS'd me to get my email address so that he could send me a list of questions, then sent a spoof PH query to that email address which enticed me to log in to read the PM. Quite clever really. I spotted it before I entered some abuse in the username/password fields...
