Littleroses, I get emails in my junk mail saying my Amazon orders have been deleted when I haven't ordered anything from Amazon. Also, emails saying I'm entitled to PPI when I know I am not. Another scam to look out for is fake emails from the Inland Revenue. I fell for the first one of these that I received last year and started filling in one of the forms, but then realised something was not right. Why would they ask for my national insurance number when they already knew it?!

Quite so.... Beware the Scam Artists!
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love and of a sound mind ~ 2 Timothy 1:7

I once got a very convincing-looking email that purported to have come from NatWest, about my account. I might have fallen for it, were it not for the fact that I don't have, and never have had, an account with NatWest.
