    Knowing many of you use Bay of E, I think I better bring this to your attention

    This is serious and very important, Just today, I have received around 20 emails from scammers claiming my Paypal is being suspended

    WHATEVER you do, DO NOT click the link in the email, YOU will go to a site which looks quite like Paypal, BUT ISN't PAYPAL

    They will Scam your email and password, thus get your money

    Please be so careful

    my general rule is - if I'm not expecting it, I don't read it! If it's that important they'll email back again.

    As a rule if I want to use a site then I go to it directly and don't use any links. Its the same if facebook logs me out and asks me to log in again. I always go back to the facebook site from the faves I have saved rather than trust the log in page. Its better to be safe then sorry and it is all too easy for them to get hold of your details.

    I always get emails from TSB and a couple of other banks but no real bank would contact you in this way. Also try to use different passwords for different sites as if you sign up to a site even like UK Bride you don't know who in the IT department will try and use your log in details to get to everything else.

    I've had loads we just delete them:
    Also be careful of this scam:
    There is a buyer on ebay that claims to have paid his money into your account via paypal. He then send you an email with all te official headers from paypal saying the money is being held until the item has reached its destination as an extra (paid for) security measure. The email address is [email protected] we nearly sent out an item to this buyer worth 150 pounds it's very clever so be careful! xxx

    I got caught out by this,but there was an error when I tried to put in one of my security answers.I rang them and they said there were no emails sent out like that.My money is safe for now! He said you must go to your paypal through explorer,and if there is a genuine prob with account it will say when you log in.x
