My daughter has just phoned in a panic!!!

someone has been using her paypal account, she had an email from paypal a few days ago telling her the account had a problem and asked her for her card and bank details, she gave them in reply and when she's just mentioned it to me I said it sounded odd, so she's logged into her ebay account and someone has spent all her money!!! (luckily it was only £12!) she's on the phone to her bank now trying to cancel her card. She's upset and says she never even thought it was a hoax as the email had the paypal logo! I had a similar one ages ago and just ignored it as I only had an ebay account not a paypal account, She's been conned but luckily caught on in time!!! Hopefully!!! It's the Royak Bank of Scotland, what are the chances it's only the £12 she's lost?

No banks/finance institutions would email you asking for your details to be emailed to them. If in doubt phone the bank, etc. and ask if there are any problems. Never phone any numbers that are given in the email!

eddie paypal have an email address you can send those links to and they investigate them all apparently.
