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

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

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

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. :-)
