Paypal phising email
Just to let you know that I received a phising email from someone purporting to be paypal this morning, basically asking me to update my accounts within 24hrs or they will invalidate my account, the spelling and grammar where appalling, even worse than mine
 I was going to cut and paste it into here as a warning but there was a link on it and I didnt want to spread anything onto here or via the forum, just be careful.

Re: Paypal phising email
My Ebay account was hi-jacked over the weekend. The interloper signed up for all sorts of business things costing mucho money, then put up some listings. However, Ebay spotted it and cancelled it all! I've reset my passwords and all is good.

Re: Paypal phising email
