No thanks, probably genuine but who are they? You are giving personal details away. Lambs to the slaughter, no wonder people have bank accounts scammed. Be careful

It's a genuine government web page, there's nothing on there that involves security issues, no address, only post code, just your name and email address they then send you confirmation. It will also redirect you to your local MP so you can inform them you've signed. I've signed quite a few in my time and never had any issues and I'm Mr cautious. Leave it with you. Cheers Chris

It is times like these when you must use your second Dummy email address. That's the one that has no contact or connection whatsoever(that means you don't send emails from one to the other)with your important emails like your banks,utilities etc. it's just for "not so very important emails"

Post code and email address can establish you full address. Be careful, scammers are clever. They dont wear striped tops and have bags with swag written on. How do you know this is genuine?

The petition is now at 1615 up from 1511 when I found it. Only 8385 to reach 10000 so keep up the good work. We've only got until the 17th Sept 2016 to make our voices heard so keep pushing. And remember you have to give accurate information to make your vote count, it's not shared with any body. I found this petition on the Olive Press link provided here http://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/ ... arliament/
Hope this helps ? Cheers all
