An email dropped into my inbox to tell me my paypal account had been 'temporarily limited' due to 'several failed log-in attempts'.

It provided a link to log in correctly otherwise: 'If you fail to log in correctly your account will be suspended for fraud prevention.'

Ok I'm not entirely daft and it's an obvious phishing attempt so I forwarded it to the Paypal security centre at spoof@paypal.com

They duly came back and informed me that it was indeed an attempted fraud to get my paypal log in details.

A while ago I spotted something I'd been after for ages on the gumtree online classifieds site.

I got in touch with the seller who provided a host of pics of the item, seemingly genuine.
