Hi All,
Just received a load of the usual FALSE Emails trying to get my
Paypal account.
I have let Paypal know (not sure if they are really bothered or not).
I though I would just teach my 'Grandmother to suck eggs' and remind
everybody that people like PayPal do NOT ask for the information below!
So no matter what it says 'your account is closing/has been hacked' etc.
etc.
DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFO!!! (sorry for shouting).
