| Re: Bank account fraud warning!
I noticed a huge increase in "phishing" E-Mails recently - day after day of E-mails trying to get me to go to a website to confirm my credentials otherwise my account would be closed etc. In the end I killed off that E-mail address. I reported them but didn't get much response. Thankfully being in IT myself I found it fairly easy to spot and check these mails - some of them were scarily authentic looking.
Best way to avert these is for YOU to contact your bank, don't use any links or numbers within any mails, they just arent safe.
Unlucky to those that got stung but thankfully the banks do seem to be on the consumers side when they do get caught out by scammers.
PS - I also recently had my Credit Card company contact me to re-issue another card. They wouldn't give me full details but sounds like somewhere I had used the card may have been copying the details etc. A good pro-active response from the bank. |
