No, nothing is ever 100% safe but today you would be lucky if things were 50% safe, the scammers are always one step ahead it seems.


Yes Baz, unfortunatley it does often seem to be getting that way.

Re: Paypal scam?

Makes me wonder why I bother with the internet. It's a bit like CB radio became, only the internet contains so many criminals. I don't have a clue what the answer is, as somebody so rightly said that the criminals always seem to keep one step ahead.

Authorities seem to be forever chasing from behind, and the minute they develope a possible prevention the criminals think up a more advanced hacking system etc. it's never ending !
