I and others have received an email supposedly from Pay Pal claiming my account was to be scrubbed in 3 months unless I confirmed my details.

Here's the rub, the mail asks for:-

email address
password
credit card number
pin code

I'm sure I don't need to remind anyone but for Gods sake do NOT REPLY to this mail in any way!!!!

I'm sure the scam catches many out and they find they have money removed from their account!!

It's very credible, even down to the PayPal return address, except it's a dummy with redirection.

Rob Lane

Yep,

I got it too, not so much of a worry for me as I knew it was a scam - I don't have a pay pal account!

Do as your uncle Rob says.

Cheers

Chris

Yup, I had that a few weeks back!

I just forwarded it to Paypal.

You should never reply to anything that asks for your password.

Terry

There's a similar thing going on with ebay accounts.

Yeh I got that, they refunded my acount £1500 so I could buy a Locust

I sent it back

Rick

Steady there Rick........any finished kit car on the road is much faster than a pile of bits in the garage.....unless it's a Dutton

If it's not got https: at the start then it's not a secure site.
Don't tell them anything.

yours, Pete.

SwiftPay informed me there was a payment of 1023.76 euros awaiting instructions. Again, looked very real, but I don't have a Swiftpay acc.
I contacted the real SwiftPay, and they've been inundated with complaints.
