    Ooh thank you. A new toy. I'll look more closely at that tomorrow :beer:

    What was bugging me though.. still is really.. is that the emails seem genuine, but WSG won't let me view them because of some of the links/ads/cookies/whatever in the emails.. does that make sense? Does make it sound like the emails can't be genuine, when I believe they are...Meh.. Well I'll check out iconix and maybe post again.

    Thanks again :)
  • of cause it's a scam jim. Can't you see it says "dear paypal member"

    I am sure this is a wind up, no one is that stupid to think it could be a real email.

  • Jolly2020.....about to be PPR'd! 3 times in one day.....is that a record?
    My home is usually the House Buying, Renting and Selling Forum where I can be found trying to (sometimes unsucessfully) prove that not all Estate Agents are crooks. With 20 years experience of Sales/Lettings and having bought and sold many of my own properties I've usually got something to say ;)
    Ignore......check!
  • You can send it to,
    [EMAIL="spam@paypal.com"]spam@paypal.com[/EMAIL] to report it.
    I have REPORTED so many emails and they just take them off.
    may be they should give a red mark against their account like to some people on here.
