Got an email from 'Pay Pal' saying I sent a payment to skype, which I didn't.

Clicked the link on the email and stupidly logged in Realised straight away I had been a retard, so went onto my browser.and logged in the normal way and changed my password quickly.

Just to make sure, I called paypal to make sure it was fake. They confirmed this was the case.

I tried removing a card on my account but couldn't as it said an instant bank transfer is pending. This is a credit card.

Asked the fraud guy about it and he said there doesn't appear to have been a transaction and he removed the card from my account.

Will the transaction still go through?

I know.

Halifax says no transactions currently pending but call back if I see anything unusual on the account, which is good news.

Hoping I changed my details quick enough.

Dont the account need an hour or so after a changed password to edit the cards? Just a guess?

Email was exactly the same as the normal ones they send when payments are made.

I also have a skype account which made me think I had paid for a subscription.

Hoping I caught it quick enough to stop anything going out. Won't be a problem if it has, just need to ring them up.

Easiest way to get throw life with the internet is to never follow a link from an email. If you feel like checking it out then go to the site and log in.
Also works with out of the internet. Get a phone call from your bank or phone provider. Tell them you will give them a call back when able to.

Twitch is the boss here.

Only links I ever use in emails are ones to unsubscribe from marketing stuff (genuine stuff obvs).

You say that but even when I bought something from a legitimate website (eurocarparts), they tried to scam me.

Luckily my bank stopped a payment to columbia before it went through.

Hoping this is the same. No payment has came out and my bank is now aware.

Very quiet actually. I live in some weird old quarry type thing, right at the bottom with chalk cliffs at the back.
