If you hover over the link in the email you will see it links to an IP bounced the 3 payments taken, adding up to £1000 or so.
Lol they'd find it hard to get £1000 out of my account they'd need to have it away with one of my kidneys and then I’d have to leave an IOU for the rest

these emails raise their ugly heads from time to time and are very easy to trick the less wise of the PC n tinternet world..
another one to watch out for is from banks..
the first give away is when you get a warning from a bank you dont bank with...
one other scam thats big at the mo is the phishing.. most are easy to spot but i have been caught out once...
when using sites like youtube, myspace, facebook, and other sites that require log in....
you click on a picture, video or other funny looking thing that takes your fancy.....
instead of seeing this so called humour you are sent to the sites main log in page.. or so it seems...
it will look exactly the same.. and you just think you have been logged out.
but you have been sent to a bogus login page.. its some little WAN***S on web page that just records your login and password to his database..
so if you have any other accounts with that same login and password your royally Screwed...
