How would you be able to determine how many friends I have?
You posted on a computer hardware forum about a blatant scam and said it "looks genuine". Perhaps if you get fooled by that, and dislike it when you get ridiculed for it, then the internet is not for you?
Thanks for the warning it seems my credit card details had expired too so I've just updated them
EDIT: seems it was a scam lloylds tsb just phoned me to ask if I had spent £9,891 in russia and wanted me to confirm my pin number
I hope you are joking.
