Rambling Rose I get them from sites purporting to be from the bank I deal with, people really do need to be on their guard these days.

In respect of banks, they should always remember to only access their bank on line via the banks official website - they should "NEVER" access it via a link from an e-mail or another site - remembering that will save them a lot of grief and money.

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"

I regularly receive e-mails asking me to validate this or that on my Lloyds Bank A/C - I don't have a bank account with Lloyds :-S

( and if you don't)

Just rec this email

"Validation failed

During a routine check of your account we have failed to validate the billing method we have on record for your account.

To continue using the Netflix service you will need to update/verify your billing information."

If you google 'Netflix scams' you will see it is just the latest in a long line.
