    I received it also. The link does not forward you the Moneybookers site. This email is not legit.

    Its very easy to get benifit from fraud emails like this. Whoeever sent you the link, would have built a moneybookers lookalike page and would ask for your username and password. Since you are looking at the "money" involved you may put in those details and inadvertantly provide your credentials to those guys who may process them as they please.

    Always keep one thing in mind that never click any of the link in email especially for payment gateway like paypal and monebookers. Always login through their official site with https IMO.

    Perfect, I agree with you.

    Just one thing come in mind, to be at safer side I never put passwords and emails in cookies.

    i think the title of this thread is misleading , you should have chosen a more appropriate title , your title is like challenging if moneybookers is fraud or not ?

    OOppps!! Yep.. I agree with you.

    Actually I missed one word (email) in between "Moneybookers email Spam? Or Fraud??"

    BTW, this title will also be misleading...lol

    title should be something like---- Got an email, appears to be from moneybookers. Is it spam or fraud?

    Yep?? :)
