Just a warning to those of you who use paypal, i have recieved a couple of emails from 'paypal' informing me that my account was being limited because of use of a suspicious credit card that was connected to my account, i was then given a link and asked to sign in to my paypal account and that i would be given steps to reactivate my account, i did click on the link and it brought up what looks like a genuine paypal page and was asking me to login, now i got suspicious although for a split second i nearly fell for it, but to be on the safe side i logged in thru the usual link i use and there was nothing about any suspicious goings on. i forwarded the email i reiceved to real paypal and was promptly told that it was a phishing email and that they were trying to get my account details!! Just a word of warning in case anyone on here should fall for it as i know some of you are elderly and your minds dont work like they used to!
I never use it after they ripped me off to the sum of 200 quid. They said it transferred into my account but it didnt. They didnt want to know when i complained either. T*ssers. BEWARE OF PAYPAL!!! Its an easy target for scammers/hackers.

I have to be honest, i have never had a problem with paypal and i have used it many times and find it very convinient and secure, but the emails i was getting were not from paypal they were from a con merchant! i would reccomend paypal to anyone
I use paypal with no problems, however my nephew had no end of problems which were all sorted quite quickly. One thing I do is to change my password regularlly.
Mike keeps getting emails from the Halifax telling him that he must contact them via a link etc. We don't bank with the Halifax!!
we use paypal no prob's but we have had an alert put on to ask us to change our pass word which we have'nt done...thanks for the alert on this chucky... us x
