72 months on PH and you don't know that General Gassing is for vaguely car-related threads?

<sigh>

Edit: Damn you mods! 5 minutes after posting you move this to The Lounge.

Hence the feel free to move . I don't frequent this forum, so didn't know anything about it.
Strangely enough my bank didn't know anything about this phish, so I assume that folks on here might like to be warned. Amazing how there's always someone who can't appreciate being warned , and takes the mick, rather than saying "ta, but I knew about it". ( not referring to you -oobster).
Even AMAZON didn't know of this one.

Thanks OP, I'll be on the lookout for that one. Right after I get my penis enlarged and buy a genuine Patek Philippe for only $50.

It's not rocket science, don't follow links in emails. If you think it's dodgy, close the email, go to the site and there will be no reference at all to the email you had.

I (like most people) get loads of these all the time (if I could be bothered to look in my spam inbox).

Hardly worth the effort of typing that, as they will move it anyway, whether they have your permission or not.
