You may be aware of recent media reports that have a highlighted a practice called "Phishing". This is the illegal gathering of personal information by deception. The unsolicited emails are sent to customers from lists illegally gathered by a third party, and ask them to enter or reconfirm bank or password details into a 'cloned' or illegal copy web site.

For your protection please be aware of the following facts:-

Past Times will never ask you to enter personal bank account or credit card details into an email or through a link sent via an email.
