| 1151526 | 2010-11-09 03:47:00 | Paradise email seems to be working again but the first email I got was filed in spam and supposedly sent by Paradise webmail administrators. It said unusual activity had been detected on my account and I should email them my user name and log in details to ensure my account remained active. I copied the text and emailed it to Paradise's help desk then deleted it. I wondered how long it would take people to try something like this! I was tempted to reply and ask if they'd also like my bank account and credit card details! |

| 1151530 | 2010-11-09 04:14:00 | I haven't spent any time trying to find out who sent it (didn't look at the address it came from before deleting it) as I immediately thought it was spam. I sent an email to Paradise's help desk to alert them to the email, so they could perhaps post a warning on their website. I certainly won't be ringing them - god, that's torture enough when you genuinely need to speak to them! I just posted it here to warn people in case others were dumb enough to believe it was genuine. Obviously we're all far too clever for that, aren't we? |

| 1151531 | 2010-11-09 05:19:00 | I should email them my user name and log in details Spam Alright - Why would Telstra be asking for your Login Details, they already have it on record . Bit like banks ( spam) asking for the same info . The real bank already know the details, they may not know your passwords, but they can look at your accounts without them any way if they had to for some legit reason . |

| 1151532 | 2010-11-09 06:33:00 | This one pops up from time to time . There was a run of them a few months ago for Snap and Paradise . Just another scam baiting up suckers . |

I copied the text and emailed it to Paradise's help desk then deleted it. If you can try and send the message source instead of the text as that will give them the headers as well and if the scammers aren't too bright it might catch them. |
