I have had the odd email from Paypal in the past phishing for info.

I never had a Paypal account or likely to have.

Thanks for the heads up though Eric, :)


I like the bit on the right telling you never to give out any personal information  :-X  :lol:

Sometimes I'm tempted to fill in spurious but initially technically compliant (with known modulus checks) information. >:D

Yes, I very nearly did just that, using the name of a famous person. But I had second thoughts - I value my liberty. ;D

I still find it amazing that people will impart info to something like this.

If you were walking down the High street you wouldn`t give someone this info so why would you online.

There has been much posted online & Offline about this sort of thing & yet people still fill out the forms.

I have filled them out many times but better not post the words I use as swear filter may make it unreadable. :-)
