Just had a e'mail from vicki about her paypal account had $3000 removed and to change passwords, It's a real worry when you hear of this sort of deceit, I have enough trouble trying to remember anything these days, never mind to change passwords every time to hear of this type of fraud.

I do not open any e'mail I do not recognise, but is this enough,
How else can you protect your self,there seems so many scams out there.you can tell from this I am not very computer literate,I do enjoy been able to contact or look up items anywhere in the world...and come on cute site....Bernadette

Funny enough I just changed mine after hearing that someone had take all monies out of the daughters account. will also remove bank details and just leave credit card on it after this scare. Interesting you mentioning it here, so double pleased I changed password to a quite complicated one lol.

Make sure your passwords contain no words and insert numbers often in the mix. Use different passwords for each site that deals with money.

Yikes! I just had a company try to charge me $70. PayPal was wonderful and took care of it that same day. Be sure to check your accounts frequently.
