You did not click on her link did you !!!!


usually these are diverted to there site that gets your password !

LouCyffer:
If it feels wrong, it usually is. There's a reason why people don't just buy these things in a normal way, and it isn't usually a good reason. Why the hell can't she buy it normally & then ship it to here husband, who by the sounds of it is either filming the next James Bond film or crawling around the Tora Bora caves looking for bad people....

Change your password and walk away is my advice.

Ifti:
Im not that stupid - I work in IT!!

I went to PayPal directly myself and sent an invoice for £500  :signLOL:

Will see what happens  :wink:
