no, but I've recieved a letter that was asking me to send 180 quid to register to keep my customers names on my pc, data protection. Utter rubbish, I read it, then though no government department, so reread it, and reread it again, thought this seems dodgey, I ain't payin that, I'll wait for another demand see what that says. It was then featured in the press, some people had of course fallen for it, and paid.
Got an ebay email, despite entwisi saying it cant be convincing, I think it was cos it had all the links working and ebay picture in the right place.I knew it wasn't real but my brother fell for one like that. they get asked to enter their password and don't think, they just go on to auto pilot.
