Tesco bank hack - warning

mt99

I know I am probably preaching to the experts here but just a warning be extremely wary of anybody sending you emails or calling you pretending to be from Tesco Bank saying we know your account has been hacked and you are due compensation etc etc.

don't click on any links in emails

following the TalkTalk hack there were months of phishing and email scam attacks trying to get your details from you

assume anyone who contacts you is a fraudster trying to get your details unless you know for certain otherwise

Might be an idea for Tesco to add this to there info messages to let the uninformed know.

Now the nationals are warning about it...


"Tesco Bank customers at risk of further fraud attacks "


"Get Safe Online said customers should be alert for phone calls, emails and other messages from criminals purporting to be from Tesco Bank."

Nothing has changed with online banking over many years.
Just don't be a D-H and respond to any thing you think might be dodgy....y
