Exactly. The fake Gas Worker thing (actually I think it might have been electric) happened to my nan once. Bastard stole her purse. Scumbag.

I keep getting emails saying my credit card has expired on my paypal account and asking me to re-input the details. It hasn't expired. Is this a scam? I've been deleting the emails to be on the safe side.

I just found this that you might find interesting:

In particular this part:

And for anybody, you might try this phishing test
