Wonder how many people do fall for emails like that...liking the triple question mark for the professional look.

you can tell they are fake, as the domain name gives it away, when you see where it came from. I always go to paypal to check, not through any 3 party web sites anyway.

You'd be surprised mate, so many people get scammed horrifically and I just don't know how they don't see it.

Thats true. I suppose people of our generation were bought up with the rise of the internet (i know it was about before but has obviously really taken off in the past 15 years) and thus the rise of these scams. Silver surfers probably don't recognise these at all!
My grandads been scammed several times
I keep getting an email to update my credit card details on paypal. Yet somehow I can still buy stuff on ebay with the current details.....

Oh how gullible people are these days Niall, I have a few silver hairs myself but the great thing about being from that gen is we actually got taught some common sense in the real world before the intervention of the .com when real men spent (my dad and co) Saturday fixing the new rear ended 504 estate for the Sunday drive with a big drill a chain and reverse gear in the beater 504 and me sitting in the new 504 with my foot on the brake lol!
