    ATTENTION fellow members!

    Several weeks ago I received by email a very strange message, saying that my Skrill/Moneybookers account was pending closure, unless I logged into it. I really wondered why since I knew that my account was perfectly OK. The message initially seemed very genuine as it followed the basic design of the original Skrill/Moneybookers format.

    Without hesitation I immediately telephoned Skrill in U.K. by calling the phone number on their site, to ask for an explanation. The liaison officer said that Skrill/Moneybookers NEVER EVER sent this message and he requested me to forward it to him, which I did.

    Two days ago I received the same message and content again, asking me to "Click Here >>". I noticed that the URL was Link (http) ........
    I realized that fishing was going on from somewhere in India.

    Ladies and gentlemen be very careful. I personally avoid following payment links sent to my email.

    It may be a good idea Delcampe to warn all members about this issue.

    These Emails are extremely common. I usually get five or six a week which are immediately binned - as I get so many I don't bother any more to foward them to Paypal or Skrill.

    The mantra should be NEVER ever log into either service through an Email. You will never be asked by either service to divulge your password. The same applied to banks they will never ask you for your password and never log in through an Email.

    One easy way to spot the phishing emails. The real ones from skrill or paypal are always addressed to you personally - Dear (whatever name you registered with).

    The phoney ones are Dear customer, dear sir/madam or similar. I get several a month too and try and blacklist the senders site or address in my email account to reduce the quantity.

    As a matter of interest, I noted that the first one of these that I received (paypal account) was no less than 7 years ago!
