Phishing attack through fake bonanza account

Hi,
I just wanted to inform you that there are phishing attacks going on. They send messages through bonanzas messaging system so that the notification email that follows is received from a correct email address (=[email protected]). The target seller with no sold items yet and claim that an item of their shop has bee bought.
Furthermore they provide a link to very professional fake site of the Austrian post where the seller is supposed to accept the payment and enter his bank credentials.

Stay safe!
