Please be aware of a possible Neteller Scam email circulating around.
I had this one today, and I don't have a Neteller account, and never have had.

I did not have a NetTeller Scam email, but yesterday I checked my NetTeller account and found three unauthorised transactions.



HOUSE OF FRASER~~LONDON~SW1P 1BH 826                                   -290.99      Declined         20-11-2013
WWW.BLINKBOX.CO.UK~~LONDON EC1N~EC1N 8TE 826                 -1.89           Accepted*     20-11-2013
JOHN LEWIS DIRECT~~LONDON~SW3 2NA 826                                   -586.90      Declined         20-11-2013

Fortunately I only had a few pound in my account at the time, and the scum only got away with 1.89 for BlinkBox!

If the thief had tried a few weeks earlier they would have had a nice payday!

Needless to say I was straight onto NetTeller to cancel my Net+ card.

I have no idea how my card details were obtained by this thief, I take the usual precautions, such as virus protection, also use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, I never go on suspect sites ect.

I scanned my computer yesterday and found 6 malwhare items on my computer, that led me to go and check all my accounts.

I have had enough of windows and going back to Linux! 

It seems to me the only way to stop these thief's is to go back to cash only, but that is not possible in this modern times
:(


All we can do is be careful but that dose not always help.


Thanks
