I am familiar with all the run of the mill scams from Nigerians wanting to give me money if I let them use my account and those from banks and organisations like PayPal.

Today I got a new one, it was from Mirabel ([email protected]) - the email quoted what they said was my ID and requested I pay this debt, I presume the details were in the attachment that I could download as a zip, needless to say I did not download the attachment.

I don't know a Mirabel and have never heard of prontobar.com let alone having any dealings with them, and I have no debts - I reported it as a phishing scam and then deleted the e-mail.

Be on your guard and never open an attachment or click on a link in an e-mail from someone you do not know!

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
