dodgy emails???

[kitten_uk2]

this is wrong catogorey for this question but hay ho, jus looked in my junk box for emails and i have an IMPORTANT MESSAGE from my bank. it wont let me read it tho, as its classed it as junk. last week i had one important message from a bank i dont even bank with. should i open them or not. i always thought my bank would post or phone me if that urgent. xx

Don't open any emails from any source claiming they are your bank. They are Spam emails. And yes, your bank would write to you if there was any important changes. I wouldn't even trust phone calls from anyone saying they are your bank.

thanx, should i inform my bank of these emails?

[tiggerblue10]

You can forward them on to a website..........give me a sec and I'll see if I can google it for you.

[kitten_uk2]

so shall i un junk it then or not?

[sir-legend]

[tiggerblue10]

If you want to report them then you will have to un-junk them and forward them to your bank. If not then just delete them.

ive opened it and you was right it wants my login in details or something ill forward it

If you get any similar emails, as advised in this thread don't open them just delete. Your bank won't be that interested so I wouldn't bother forwarding them. The sender will be from another country and virtually untraceable.
