Alert about your billing information on file

NEVER fill in a form that asks you for all your credit card information.  If there really is a problem with your Tiscali - or any other online account - log directly into it.  NEVER click on a link in an email that claims there is a problem with your account.  ALWAYS enter the address of TalkTalk (your bank, Paypal or whatever) directly into your browser.

This scammer is hoping you will give him all your credit card info (see screenshot below).

If you think  you have accidentally given your credit card info to a scammer, contact your bank immediately.

Dear Customers

1. A recent change in your personal information. (eg: billing address, phone)
2. s_ubmitting incorrect information during bill payment process.

Due to this, to ensure that your service is not interrupted, we request you to confirm and update your billing information today by clicking here.

If you have already confirmed your billing information then please disregard this message as we are processing the changes you have made.

Regards,
TalkTalk UK

Thanks for your co-operation.

It's been a long time since I posted a fake PayPal email here, so here is one.

How do I know it's fake? Lots of giveaways, but the main one is that it doesn't include my registered PayPal username. Read it closely and you'll find lots of mistakes.

NEVER click on a link in an email that claims to come from Paypal. ALWAYS enter the address of the paypal website directly into your browser. If there is a problem with your account you will see it after you log in.

If you think you have accidentally given your Paypal account details to a scammer, change your password and contact Paypal immediately

Order Request - Box Dumpers

As the email address this was sent to has absolutely nothing to do with *(Box Dumpers)* I'm guessing this is a scam.  One where the scammer is supposed to fill in the blank space between the brackets!

I'd also guess that if you reply and send a quote, Mr "Soon" will reply and either:

a) use a fake credit card number or (more likely)

b) ask to pay you more than you quoted and pass the excess on to a third party.  

In fact, I think I might try answering him to see what he says.

Hello Good Day
My Name is David  Soon and I will like to know whether you carry *(Box
Dumpers)* in stock for sale. If yes, email me back each size and with the
prices of (1) attached to it so that i will let you know the size and
quantity i will be ordering.... More over I will like to know whether you do
accept credit card as the method of payment....
Hope to read from you again....Stay Blessed.
Kind regards
David  Soon

Your account was accesed by a third part

I hope I don't have to tell you that you should NEVER download an attachment that claims to come from your bank and that you should NEVER reconfirm your bank details online.  These emails are all from scammers who are after you bank details and/or credit card details so they can help themselves to your money.
