so far over this bank holiday I have been informed my microsoft account has been accessed, check it hasn't, my pay pal account ,it hasn't, my facebook don't have one, my intergramme whatever that is.  of course I just delete all of these junk mail and check the proper account to make sure without using any of the links in the scam mails.  How many people fall for these though hopefully everyone takes care.

Yes, I have been caught out with the Microsoft email.  I believe that the only problem it gave me was to lose my internet link on my lap top.  My brother in law took the computer back to its factory settings and it has been ok since. Has anyone else fallen for this scam and had other problems?  I am not on Facebook or any similar social media sites.
