    Circle is a genuine online payment system similar to PayPal.

    As with anything, if you've not signed up with it then you can't possibly have an account. This sounds like a phishing email hoping that genuine account holders will click on the link to disclose their password.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    It's genuine and you've got a real live whole five pounds.

    The op said there were 19, so there should be £95 sitting there...

    I've posted a link to show you did sign up and then shared your referral link. Why are you still saying you "may" have signed up??
