a fake payment email is bad BUT theres a worse one, a fake paypal request for you to update your info etc, when you get the email and click the link it takes you to the next page exactly like the real paypal does, you obviously have to sign in so you type your password etc, before you know it you can't login to paypal the next time you try, they got your password, changed it, changed your delivery address etc and start shopping, i was very lucky, my bank noticed it and stopped it when id only lost a small amount but everyone should be careful, ALWAYS open a new browser and type www.paypal.co.uk or .com and go from there, NEVER use links from the email incase its a fake

Thanks for that bit of advice. It's really sad to see people go through so much extreme. I always open up new windows and direct link best way to be safe.

I have had soo much scam emails from eBay and paypal it's unbelieavable!
