Anyone else had an email asking them to 'renew their account information' with Moneybookers/Skrill?

I looked on the website and couldn't see anything about it so am assuming the email is a spoof.

I got one too.

Obvious spoof - it addressed me as: Dear "email address"

I got one this morning too.

It was "from" Lien (http) - ie without the "y" . Mine had the correct e-mail address in the salutation.

If you hover over the link in the e-mail that asked you to confirm details WITHOUT clicking it, the destination shown (usually a pop-up at the bottom left of the screen) is nothing to do with Moneybookers/Skrill.

I forwarded it to security@moneybookers.com for them to decide whether to investigate it or not - then deleted it.

Yes, mine too had the correct email address. The point I was trying to make is that companies like MB and PP will address you as Dear Mr/Mrs + your full name, not dear "email address".

Yes, I always spot spelling mistakes too; on this occasion I didn't though!

With the email making the statement that they would always address the reader by their email address - but I thought, yea... well... without that they couldn't have sent the message, could they!

It was a clever one this one and one that might fool people. I always check on the websites first though!

I'm getting these once or twice every month.When you get a new one ,simply forward it with full headres to security@moneybookers.com and they will take care

I've received a 3rd one this afternoon. Exact same text and spelling/grammar mistakes. Whoever is sending them has obviously not been stopped yet.

Maybe the crooks are taking advantage of the fact that it's holiday time - I've also received phishing emails from Visa Europe (in Dutch), Santander, Nationwide and one other foreign bank - I don't have accounts with any of them.

I got one today as well, similar garbage as always,but sent from a different ,site.It is impossiible to fight croocks without proper punishment.Only few were prosecuted out many.These are not tough enough laws against such crime yet. Everyone should be careful while online.

"They" certainly have been keen the last week or so. I've been receiving them almost on a daily basis since just before Xmas.

like in any business they quite busy in holidays time.Anyway I'm deleting any of these emails before forwarding this sapam to Moneybookers,ebay or paypal.What is ineteresting,that from paypal I'm getting only a few a year ,more from ebay and the higherst number from moneybookers,especially after they started a process of changing name.
Happy New Year to all

It seems to go in phases. I haven't had any ebay phising mails for ages and Paypal seem to have gone quiet as well at the moment.

As well as the MB phishing mails I've also been receiving multiples for a European visa credit card and of my own bank these last couple of weeks.

what is funny,that I got a new one jus few min.ago.This bussines is24/7/365(366).Going right now right to MB security.But it reminds me Don Quixote and windmills.
