Not a comp but wanted to warn you!!!

littleholly

I have just received an email from Lloyds TSB asking me to update all my account info. Its obviously a complete scam. I don't have an account with them so be on the look out for this email especially if you DO have an account with them. :eek: :eek: Wasn't sure where the best place was to post this as I wanted to warn you all!!! :rotfl:

Thanks very much for this littleholly

You have just reminded me, I got one from Amazon. People are very likely to fall for this one, as it says there is unusual activity on the account, but when I had a look at the address it came from it was a saudi address. Does anyone know if there is a specific place to report these to?

I had one from halifax and use their banking services.

Yep I get them from *Barclays* and I DO have an account with them.

I also get LOADS of Ebay and Paypal ones.. if you get those forward them to spoof@paypal.co.uk and spoof@ebay.co.uk.. they will check them out and get back to you.

Also don't forget just about everyone you are signed up with will NEVER ask you for your sign in details in an email. (just incase there is anyone who isnt sure)

I've had a few of those from Halifax too. Plus I've had a few from complete strangers thanking me for helping them transfer funds :eek:

I use a program called mailwasher - I can bounce spam so they don't know they've found a genuine email address. It does seem to reduce it. Most of the spam I get now is stuff I have signed up to through comping which I just delete without bouncing it back to them.
