E mail scammers

Post by tattie »

Hi all,
Just recieved an email from "HSBC" bank, saying that they have detected irregular activity on my "HSBC internet banking account"
and asking me to download the document attached to the mail. If I fail to do this they will suspend my account. :thumbup:

Well they will have a job as I do not bank with them, what a bunch of scamming bas---ds. :D

A fortune awaits the person who can make a computer program that can return all their crap with a 10,000 volt attachment. 8O 8O 8O


Cheers

A.M.

i had a spate of them a while ago, from hsbc, tsb and bank of uganda lol
theres a paypal one doing the rounds as well asking you to log into a bogus site that looks identical to the paypal site - watch out for that one.
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

There are loads of these out there, most so badly done anyway. Same principal applies as in real life - if someone you don't know knocks on your door and asks to come in, don't let them.

If there is a web link, hover over it and you will see what it is, also unrelated.



Rich, i suppose that is fair paybck as we have all had a right hoot in the titty bars on your credit card that i lifted while you and Iggy were spooning before the RBLR :) And you thought all those charges were fuel for RBLR :)

That was mine; I was picking gooseberries and it fell out of my pocket.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
