I see loads of these every day in my comping email account, spam folder. I have so many ''rich old Uncle's'' that have died and answered all my prayers. I am a billionaire on email paper :19: If only I could spend it Ha
As for PayPal, there is the HMRC as Ironside says above, then last week I had 1 from the benefits agency saying I could apply online blah blah. The banks are the hilarious 1's. Rare I get 1 for my own bank. It is usually for banks I have no accounts with.
PayPal 1's are some blinders. Before we came away, I had 1 that looked authentic at first glance, to someone who is a novice with this stuff. It was saying PayPal was debiting my account for Morrisons for the tune of £155-19 p. The nano second I went WTF-I did check as I do online shop at Morrisons. By checking I mean I came off email and went to PayPal and signed in directly and ofcourse it was a scam so forwarded it to the right phishing service.
Amazon, Ebay are other 1's they try too.If only these people put there mind to legal earnings they would be rich, instead of doing it by criminal means.
1 of the best 1's I had was from what was the CSA a few years ago saying I was owed XYZ and they had finally got the payment off my absent ex for a few thousand pounds.
After I had finished laughing I think I did email them back and say ''good for you! He doesn't live in The U.K. He never paid me a penny in maintenance and the CSA tried to get him for money in 2004 with no success and you expect me to believe you now'' LOL Needless to say I didn't hear back.
