Thanks for that Mike - I have had many in the past - but this looks good.

One point, on top of what you said -

Check the www. address too - its one of the few things they cannot change. It is unique to PayPal.

Like this:

https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin

Also worthwhile upgrading to Internet Explorer 7 (it's free) which has a built in anti-phishing filter which should alert you when you try to access any phishing website.

It also has a useful zoom facility built in - particularly useful for some of those photos on ebay! Wink
