scam mate

ffs don't enter any details....!

[willp2003]

the clue is in the web address! - if in doubt go to the paypal website (not through any link provided)

[Welsh Pete]

I remember getting one like this from ebay years ago...got half way through filling it in, with CC details and then the penny dropped...fuckers!

[djm2k1]

delete and ignore mate, I've had 4 in the past 2 days. Might actually entertain them if I'm bored and email the feckers.

[Deadly]

Yep, 100% scam, one of the oldest in the books, delete it and ignore!

Also just note, don`t always go off the web address you see in front of you.
Hover over the link and look for the "real" address that it is actually taking you to.

ie. Hover over the following web address and check the real address at the bottom left of the browser: http://www.ebay.co.uk

Obviously it would take you to a website that looks EXCATLY like ebay / paypal whatever, but it would be something they have redirected you to.
Be vigilant!

i always like to fill them in with bullshit details. little things amuse little minds or so they tell me

[Clarkey110]

cheers all. I realised it was a scam especially seeing my dad can barely use the internet let alone set up a paypal account. however the link is for some wierd Korean web page and all the writing in korean so even if i wanted to enter my details wouldnt know how. seems a shit scam.

[jayc]

Yeah i like to fill them in with false details too. I bet the little scamming b@stards jump for joy when they think they have got some suckers details only to find deatils for a Mr. P. Ness!

[phlix]

I can't believe people fall for scams like these.

[Over Carl]

@jayc and beackytanUK - same here. I normally fill them with First name: suck your
Surname: mum

that kinda stuff.
