big_kev Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Came accross this little nightmare. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7496735.stm Make sure you have downloaded the patch as soon as you can. Very nasty , the fake sites will be up and running already. Quote
mumof4 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Hmm..yesterday i recieved an email supposedly from halifax bank saying my account had been used fraudulentlyy anfd that my online banking had been suspended and to clkick a link to confirm my details. I went to the halifax website and got the email address to send fraudulent emails to. its the first time ive ever had anything like it. Quote
big_kev Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) I get one almost every week from RBS saying that there is a problem with my account and I need to click the link to sort it out. Easy to tell it's a spoof ......I don't have a RBS bank account and never have had. Ignore any and all emails from banks telling you there is a problem. The guidelines to follow. 1: Assume ( and you will usually be right ) that all emails from banks are fake. 2: If there is a genuine problem you will notice it next time you log onto your online banking. 3: Do you think they would tell you if there was a problem ! 4: If you have this problem again please email me your sort code, account code and pin numbers passwords, mothers maiden name etc and I will sort it out for you. :angry2: Edited July 9, 2008 by big_kev Quote

Mirez Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 You lot need to take your share more instead of sending it all to me! So far this week I have: 19 from Lloyds TSB36 from Halifax4 from RBS1 from Yorkshire Bank (who the hell are they?)and.... wait for it... 102 from PayPal. All directed to junk automatically but it does make me chuckle! Quote
