Thanks guys. No it's not in my payment instructions nor have I traded with this buyer before. And we are pretty careful with who we give our contact details to ever since we were burgled (way back in pre-Trade Me days). So I asked the buyer and he confirmed that it was from him but said that he sent it to my email address (which was on his success email from Trade Me). Well it definitely turned up in my text messages, and nothing came into my email. It's never happened before like this. So I'm wondering, because Trade Me has my phone number, whether something is being scrambled at Trade Me?
Previously all communication with the buyer has been by email but I just sold an item and the buyer has texted me. How did they get my phone number?
