Title: Pay Pal scam
Post by: yam man on August 15, 2011, 07:43:08 PM
I've just had an email in the spam folder purporting to be from Paypal, asking for my details. I'm 100% certain it's a scam because I don't have a Paypal account! Be warned.

No kosher site will ask for details in an email.

My wife, a few years ago replied to one of these scam emails( brain of britain NOT ).  It wiped out all her millions.

Romanian fraudsters by all accounts.

Another scam from 01243521256.  Pretending to be from Sky tv. BT are trying to trace the source.

Good to hear it. Why put money into the scumbag empire? There's plenty of rubbish on tv without paying extra for even more.
