"Whosoever that refuses to update his/her account after two weeks..." Oh, goodness gracious me! I love this cod 'officialese'. It sounds almost biblical: "... God shall smite with a mighty fist and cause their computer to be vexed with a virus most unpleasing."

Well it seems they will try anything at all to try and get easy monies, obviously I get regular supposedely banks asking me to update my particulars it was LLOYDS today, and yes you guessed it I don't bank with these or HSBC or ALLIANCE and LEICESTER who seem to be to the fore in these so called PHISHING request..... SO BE ON YOUR GUARD AND ALERT TO ANY PHISHING AT ALL..............
 
I still get e-mails offering all kinds of potions and pills to improve the size of my 'male member'. (Tatts or Grandstand?) I replied to one today, which said "What are you guys waiting for?" and said, "Perhaps not being a guy has something to do with it."
 
They do say that you should never reply to these emails as you have then confirmed that you are a real person and will get more and more, but I seem to get loads of them any way. Not many on Yahoo now but loads on Hotmail and Virgin.
