Just been reading up on what Paypal advise.

Advice is to forward the email to Paypal (spoof@paypal .com) and then delete it. Done!

Just received it today so likely others will have had the same, if not then watch for it.

Note: Email addy above gapped to stop active link.

Im just watching a programme on bbc4 about the building of the submarine Astute... the one that ran aground the other year.
Anyway, who picked the music to go with the programme?
I ask, because i recognised the instrumental. It was from a Depeche Mode track called - It's No Good

No chance mate.

I offered her 2 mil and she said OK.

I was only after loyalty, I hope she didn't think it was for anything else.

Now as to this Forum .

I offered her a tenner just by way of a starting point. I thought with a bit of haggling we could find out what her real price was ...... just for a bit of loyalty, of course.
