False Moneybookers emailsTue 26th Aug 2008 10:04:31
@melanie
Dear members,
There has been a new wave of fraudulent emails concerning Moneybookers. Many users have received such emails whose purpose is to get their confidential information.
As many of you use this service via the electronic wallet, we want to inform you on that matter.
This way of swindling is called phishing. We have already contacted the Moneybookers security service and here is their answer :
"
It has come to our attention that some of our members recently received an email, supposedly from Moneybookers Limited, requesting you to prove your identity.
We would like to confirm that this message was NOT sent by Moneybookers, and strongly advise you not to follow the instructions contained in it.
2. Moneybookers requires that you access your account ONLY using the login link on the Moneybookers homepage.
3. Moneybookers and its representatives will NEVER send you an email asking you to provide your login details within a form provided or to click on a hyperlink to access your account.
4. Always check whether you are accessing your Moneybookers account from a secured conection (httpS:// - the 's' indicates the page is secured). Always check whether a 'padlock' is present in the bottom right-hand corner of your browser. Double click the padlock to verify that the security certificate is issued to www.moneybookers.comLink (http).
If you have already followed the link provided in the mail mentioned and entered your personal details, please be advised to immediately log into your Moneybookers account (if you have one) and change your password.

Thanks Melanie
Basically....Don't click on any log in links in Moneybookers emails...log in via their Website
There are a few going around that are supposed to be from Paypal, Halifax Bank, Barclays Bank, Abbey bank...in fact ANY banking emails should be treated with caution

bonsoir melanie,
how does cajun know you are not spam? i only see a pair of eyes. and you have not formally introduced yourself as the new english site manager. we have not heard from our last english site manager, luke, since this past december? then evelyne arrives to substitue for him. but she is rare on appearances. will we see who you are and a face? as for this message, yes many of the older delcampers are aware of false spam emails sent by PAYPAL, ebay, MB, and many banks. i have often warned the members in the past to be on their guard. i do not use the electronic wallet but do have PAYPAL and often get false emails from scammers. if there is a security email site to forward them to, i do this; otherwise i just delete them. i also have my security software which i also recommend all our members to buy to protect them from identity theft.
un bonne semaine a vous.

But Seb is the Boss so he is not a Spammer.Which reminds me of a programmme Spam Spam Spam and more Spam by John Cleese.But always remember no name is Spam and Melanie forgot to mention it ,shame on her .Maybe it would be a good idea for Seb to update his Moderators often he he ?

bonsoir bdog,
this was ms. melanie's first visit to us on the english forum and an annoucement as the 'english' manager without any official news from sebastien. i was somewhat taken aback as the 'english' mangers have a habit of disappearing like genies and not to be seen again. the eyes reminded me of that show. the spam was a good joke though, eh. it makes good hors d'œuvre with cheese for your wine.

bonjour bdog,
yes, the dog's sense of smell is superb. almost as good as the ol' coon. and i thought the 'rosbif' say ''well done, but just a little pink in the middle."

hope that 'hair of the dog' has not bitten you too much, and you do not suffer the 'hangover'. today starts the american college football season and i officially give melanie permission to use the 'eye of the tiger ', the LSU tiger that is. and they are off to a wonderful start as the national college champions from last year. here are the scores.:
