Another phishing scam
Just received another scam email.
Obviously, no named account holder, and other items which I can't disclose immediately tell me it was a fake.
I'm sure others have had this, but this one is new to me.
Keep it safe!!!!

Going on to these phishing websites and typing verbal abuse into the entry boxes for credit card details is fun.
I have a piece of website testing software that can repeatedly hit a web form. Kick it off, and wait for their server to run out of disk space.... heh heh heh!
