Re: Be On Your Guard.

That's not true about banks never e-mail you Patsy. I've had many an e-mail from my bank but only to tell me there's a message for me on their site which I can only access by going through their logging on procedure.

Re: Be On Your Guard.

I do online banking and so far so good but then again I earn my living off computers so I have an advantage. Whenever I carry out some repair or other for members of my family and I see the kind of programs that are installed - hacking ones - I tell them in no way should they do online banking or anything else related to it. If they are hell bent on doing so I mention that maybe they should get a cheap laptop, or other computer, that is fully protected and is never used for surfing the net, just used for online banking and purchases, along with being 'clean' and fully protected. Asking for trouble otherwise unless you know what you are doing.

Thanks for the heads up, Alan Cooke. I do all my banking/bill paying online, too.
