1188143 2011-03-21 20:28:00 So, is this legit?

It's asking me for my mobile number. If I haven't got a mobile I have to fill in a form giving about 5 e-mail addresses, which obviously I can't remember cos I just type in the people's "nicknames".

Do I go thru' with what they're asking?

Thanks

1188146 2011-03-21 20:35:00 Guess you'll have to fill in it then. if it were an email, then it may have been dodgy. Cant do much if you cant get on the site itself Speedy Gonzales (78)
1188147 2011-03-21 20:36:00 And if I try and get to GMail thu' the little app GMail notifyer there's no e-mail showing up tuiruru (12277)

1188150 2011-03-21 20:54:00 two texts, one automated phone call, three different codes 'cos they obviously "crossed each other in the post and a password change and I'm in.

1188151 2011-03-21 20:56:00 How does receiving a code on your phone verify it is you? Couldn't anyone put in their number and then google would think it was you? utopian201 (6245)
1188152 2011-03-21 21:27:00 The area would match (nz) and they might have asked him for a mobile number or other detail in his account signup. 8ftmetalhaed (14526)
