martleeds Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Delete it, its a phishing scam, the scum bags set up a fake web site, that clones a legit secure site, such as an online banking login page, they ask you to enter your bank details, pin number, personal details etc, then empty your bank account, they are just preying on people, in the hope that someone may fall for it Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2 Edited August 11, 2013 by martleeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejayy2k Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 yup as others have said its a scam they usually have a .zip file attached to them, most banks and paypal will have an email address to forward these. just do that then delete the email.

Riffraffs Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 never trust any link in a email. I saw one for "ebay" with the web address of "ebay logln co uk" at first glance it looks ok but... that is "EBAY LOGLN CO UK" yep not IN but LN lower case L. next that address is the wrong way around. it should be "login ebay co uk" for those that don't know the addresses work backwards until the 1st / "ebay logln co uk" is the same as "logln co uk / ebay" now it looks very shaddy If i get an email from a company about my account like ebay. i go to "ebay co uk" from my favs/google etc then log in, NEVER from a link in an email Sorry if im teaching basics to some of you but just sharing my wisdom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 There so easy to spot, the only people who are gonna fall for it is old people, if they even know how to read an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 One of them actually made me chuckle, the subject line is somthing like "Viagra $100 blah blah ect ect" I added them on to a blocked list, the other day i got another email off them from a different address but still the same thing. Now my email address has the word ibanez in it. (guitar make) And these people put the subject line as "Ibandemha" Thought it was funny anyway.
