bogus emails

[lotsafun]

i just recieved one of those fake emails asking me to confirm all my HSBC banking details for security reasons.........funny that, ive never banked with HSBC .

[lslowry]

I used to get these regularly. I think there is a site you can send them on to be investigated.

This is what is called a phising email. Delete it.

see my above thread! I get them all the time, but my daughter has been conned by a bogus paypal email,.

I get loads from all kinds of bank, UPS, all sorts.

You can report them to the organisation themselves or sites like this...

Forward it to this link [email protected]. I had one recently and they acknowledged it being forwarded.

And you expect them to do something about it? Just delete it like everyone else does. No point in forwarding them. That makes you as bad as the spammer.

I get loads, pretending to be all the banks. One recently said it was from the Ryoal Bank of Scotland.

The latest scam, that I have received a couple of times, says it is from HM Revenue and Customs. They say their calculations show I am due about £800 in tax refund. All I have to do is give my bank details for them to credit it to me.

I delete them but they work on the premice that 1/100 maybe have an account with HSBC or whatever and therein lies the scam.

I had one of them the other day asking for my bank details and guess what I gave them the bank details of my ex who has just cheated on me.

Does that make me a bad person?

[Dris]

Nice one -like your style ^^^ !!!

[NoMercy]

That's an inspiring idea, Wazza... but could wind you up in trouble. Surely giving someone's details out like that would make you complicit in a crime, should a fraud take place?

[Dris]

NoM -I would just bask in the karma then take the rap lol

[wazzamatter]

Well it gave me great satisfaction unlike she did

[NoMercy]

lol !

Do you think any suspicion will fall upon you though?

[wazzamatter]

I don't really care
