Actually I think I was registered on the old forum too, just never posted. I only found this forum when I went to the old ntlhellworld.co.uk address, and read the article that the original owner had sold out to ntl, and some of the regulars had set up a new forum, seperate from ntl, that's how I found this new forum.

I used to get that, reinstalling Jave after removing all VMs should fix it. HTH

Re: ***Caution***: Paypal Users
OK I have had something so similar to the Paypal only it supposedly comes from ebay.

Dear valued eBay member:
We recently have determined that different computers have logged onto your eBay account, and multiple password failures were present before the logons. We now need you to re-confirm your account information to us. If this is not completed by , February 21 2005, we will be forced to suspend your account indefinitely, as it may have been used for fraudulent purposes. We thank you for your cooperation in this manner.
To confirm your eBay records click here:

We appreciate your support and understanding, as we work together to keep eBay a safe place to trade.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Re: ***Caution***: Paypal Users
I have received various ebay scam e-mails, to multiple addresses, in the last three days, none of them connected to CF in any way.

Re: ***Caution***: Paypal Users
Dear Friends
I am new to this forum, but could not resist to highlight on this topic.
Yep i also had one of those today, i have been ebay & paypal member for last 4 years, and i get these 'spoof' emails at least once a week.
You can easily find out the link, where it is destined for, simply point mouse cursor on the link and you should see a disguised forwarding link.
The one i had today was forwarding to a website in uk, i have sent it to paypal but no response yet.
My recommendation is never click on the link, some of these sites have dangerous scripts which can get into your pc's.
Thanks
Ash
