 |
|
Just to warn everyone theres a paypal scam doing the rounds, it seems somebody (not paypal) is sending out spoofed e.mails asking customers to log in to re-activate their accounts, this then gives them your details. If you get any similar e.mails check with Paypal at their website, not through the link provided. Wayne |

Theres some really clever ones around, there was one here in the UK last year that would phone up the person claiming to be from the credit card company, they would then give you the numbers off your card and personal details (which tended to reassure people) they would then ask you to confirm you still had the card on your person and to confirm it by giving them the last 3 numbers off the back (the security code)
Once they had that with the card number which they allready had they could order anything by phone, the big question was how were they getting the personal details and card numbers. Wayne |
