Beware a fake company Calling peoples homes, posing as a travel company calling itself Select Travel Services They offer you  five star accomodation, including flights and transfers, anywhere . £99....But they want your Card details over the phone. Their phone number and website are fake.

Its pathetic isni it. I keep getting fake e mails from HSBC, Barclays and Ebay! All asking me to log in to verify security details. All sound kenyan to me.

I feel sorry for anyone who falls for it. Even if 1 in 10,000 do, they've made money.

Got the same one today from paypal; it went to my bulk folder as spamguard on. Also one the other day from Barclays Bank, "Urgent message about your account". I don't have one with them! as with all this stuff, just hit delete without opening it.  Take care
