Usually they come linked via paypal, or one of the main banks, and ask you to go to a site to update your contact details. A new one ive got is for WorldPay. As they say on Hill St Blues....lets be careful out there. Unless yer too stupid not to realise that theyre fake, then please email me all youre bank details, including security passwwords and ill look after yer money for you Back to top james73 Moderator Joined: 30 Jul 2007 Posts: 2318 Location: Utopia Planitia Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2008 1:23 pm    Post subject: I've had a fake Paypal one everyday this week.

It's people who aren't au fait with tinterweb who get caught out with this sort of thing. James H _________________ Happiness ain't at the end of the road - Happiness *IS* the road...
