Everyone, I would like to leave a small alert message on my blog for all who use PayPal as method of payment:
Every once in a while some "smartheads" try to rob people by sending them fake PayPal messages, the logo is there, the colours and the layout look exactly like PayPal, but it's NOT a PayPal message at all! Today I received a spam message saying that my account had been limited...nothing new, they have sent me messages like that several times before, but in the beginning when I was very new to PayPal I did indeed once click on such a link to get rid of that so called "limitation" only to find that there was no access at all, and I realised very fast that I had just given away my password! So I very very quickly went directly into www.paypal.com and changed my password...and no harm was done...phew!!!!
I have been sending and receiving payments through PayPal for almost 5 years now, and never ever had any problems, nor any hackers accessing my account. It is a completely safe place to do your transactions as long as you never give out your password to anyone - PayPal will never ask you for it! Any real PayPal messages will always greet you by your first and last name, which is perfect proof that the e-mail came indeed from them, the internet criminals wouldn't know your full name registered on PayPal, they only have your e-mail address.
I have simply forwarded the fake message to [email protected] , and I really hope that they will be able to trace those suckers down, FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And now I would very much like to introduce my lates art yarn design.....YUMMY, YUMMY!! It's a handspun Bluefaced Leicester yarn plied with tons of gorgeously soft and fluffy hand painted BFL curls. I have called the design "Mimi", have a look:
Gorgeous, don't you think? It would make e.g. a wonderful cosy neckwarmer/scarflette!! I have displayed it in my Etsy store at www.alltheprettyfibers.etsy.com , feel free to have a look :o)
