Warning to all wardrobe mistresses out there...

Wardrobe mistresses?

Why, costumiers, of course!

In American, that's "costumers".

"Wot???" I hear you exclaim. Well, I thought I should warn you all: I got a very kind message from PayPal earlier, warning me that a transaction, which I didn't make, was considered fraudulent. Here it is:

It must work occasionally, otherwise they wouldn't do it, I presume. But "costumers" made me roar with laughter. Oh the hidden joys of spell-checkers...

Always worth looking at the address it came from. I'd expect it to be @paypal.com if it was genuine rather than anything.paypal etc or accounts-PayPal etc.

The word pretty looked odd to me. We use the word verbally now and then but I have never seen it used in print in that context.

I think I forgot to state what to me was obvious: it's a phishing scam email.

The web links in the message are faked. At a guess they lead to virus infected sites, which will cause an unprotected Windows PC to download key-logging (and 'phoning home') software, to compromise its security. They might just be waiting for the gullible to put their actual security data in (the site _will_ look reasonably like a genuine PayPal page, typos and grammar howlers notwithstanding).

Good game, but getting a bit tiresome these days.
