    Due to past exp (about a ffew days ago) I want to let everyone know this.

    If you get ANY email with "[email protected]" address as the return address DELETE IT - IGNORE IT - DO NOT GO TO ITS SITE - DO NOT ENTER ANY ACCOUNT INFORMATION. If you do it will send your password to a database, take your money, bank account info, credit card info, etc... ANy information it can get its hands it, it will get.

    Related Links:
    These links will show you what I mean, and what I am talking about.

    Link 1
    Link 2
    Link 3

    Just thought I would let everyone know, before they almost ---- up there accounts, lose money, and other key information about their lives.

    Thanks for the heads up to other members, almost happened to me the other day, I got some email the other day.

    With the one I got it was asking for alot of details etc. what I did was put in a fake account name and password, it let me through so I knew immediately it was fake.

    seriously i get an email a week, from fake ebay ones atm, they all end up in hotmail junk mail folders btw, as the sender id can't be verified. Just remember never ever, re-enter your card details, and forward the email to [email protected] or .com

    :P Daz
