Just for those who are not aware...

Never, never, never give your credit card, paypal or online bank account details to anyone, a credit card company or bank will never * never * contact you to ask for this information, ever. If you get an email telling you to confirm your login details with a link to what looks like your banks web page......... it will not be your bank!

Hope this helps those who would without thinking innocently give their access details to others, who steal thousands from peoples accounts every day.

I worked for a company who's primary email address was bombarded with these emails properbly 10-20 a day many of them varying in style, designs, storys and information needed.

If you recieve an email it is very safe to assume they are fake, if you have any doubt then the best thing to do is ring the company concerned (DO NOT ring the number enclosed in the email or associated website)
