Our penultimate recommended retailer is The Carephone Warehouse. They are one of the biggest phone retailers in the UK. Not only do they supply mobile phones but they also supply broadband. The company often has a variety of deals involving pay as you go and contract phones which sometimes include a wide range of free gifts. Have a look on their website or instore for their offers!

In the past we have written about recognising spoof emails trying to acquire some form of personal information on you, whether it be from a hoax bank email or website, the problem is becoming much more common and serious. In September 2008 there were over 8,621 Phishing Sites/Emails found and verified. Our previous posts on this topic are:

Phishing – general advice to help you stay safe online

Advice on Hoax Virus Warning Emails

Quick Tip: Stopping Spam

Today we came across PayPals 3 Part Phishing Guide. We think that articles are well worth a look. They are primarily based on helping identify PayPal spoof emails, however much of the information applies to general spoof emails. The links below link to each Part of the Guide:

Part 1- Understanding Phishing

Part 2 – Recognizing Phishing

Part 3 – Fighting Phishing

With more and more phishing sites/emails being found each month we all need to be on our toes with what’s going on!
