atom3624 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Just logged into my private e-mail account and found a 'TV LICENSING REFUND - THROUGH COMPLAINTS OF OVER PRICING' ..... !! Yeah right. It said LICENSING, not LICENCING. Since when would THEY refund US, and £243.75 as well - that's a lot if it's to EVERYONE LICENCED!! It had a CLOSING APPLICATION DATE of 17JUN17 - don't think so - already been and gone! Just thought I'd bring it to your attention - it's obvious, but may be a few willing to risk it - DON'T!! No idea what it'll do, but doubtless not good - I binned immediately and deleted permanently, then scanned the computer for good measure. Al.

johninderby Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Got one supposedly from PayPal a few days ago saying click on this link to claim your £5.00 loyalty reward. However it was sent to my regular email account not the email address I use for PayPal so deleted immediately. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Just got to keep your eyes open all of the time. Got one from Ebay for £50 a couple of years ago - it was REAL!! Bought a pair of Clarks sandals with it!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Yea the fraudsters can be tricky alright. Never click on any links in emails that appear to be from PayPal or your bank. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Also remember that official E-Mails are never usually too specific. I've only ever had one which was legitimate, similar to Al, but I just bin pretty much all of them now. Always worth bringing these to peoples attention though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 9 times out of 10, hovering the cursor over the link will tell you it's not genuine. I get so many from facebook, natwest, whatsapp, paypal but when you see the link address it's clearly bogus and something like [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
