Yep thats the best way, I opened one as a business tool as recommended but the accounts have been hacked twice IN THREE MONTHS great name for it -TWATTER. I certainly would not use this otherwise they appear to be very slack on security levels. I regularly dont accept links to people as I dont trust the process yet it is desireable for some work ahhhhhhhhhh

It must be the season for scams- another one just came through on company e mail account addressed personally to me thanking me for ordering a camera and hard drive. Company being YesAsia.com for a nice £500

No details of payment but asking you to update the order through entering areas attached to e mail. Suggest anyone who gets an e mail from YesAsia.com ignores it and spams it.

I just had the YesAsia.com e-mail too - didn't follow it up at all as it had Scam all over it.

On the e mail Jimbo , did they head it with your name, they had mine but no other detail.

Microsoft scam calls also to family members this week which we think came from calling a BT fault service report, which suggests the overseas fault centre managing BT calls is passing details on

Yep, it was addressed to me by name.

I get round the telephone scams; I never answer my phone!

No BT is not passing details on its just co incidence, I get these as well, I try and wind them up by pretending to do what they want me too while doing other things, my record is keeping them on the phone for 23 minutes, could have kept them blabbing on for longer but I got bored so in the end told them to walk the plank so to speak.
