The interest rate is over 50% higher than any other savings provider, so that is proof enough in itself that it is a scam.

Admittedly it's a different type of savings  account and accepts limited deposits but First Direct are still offering 7% to some customers at the moment 😊

Are you sure that isn't actually 3.69%?

Had an email this morning (apply@ms-easyacess.co.uk).
Looks very feasible, has correct details and reference numbers.
link (removed by me) asks for contact details.

Does anyone have any info about this?
Doesn't feel right at all but very convincing.

If you still have the email, forward it to report@phishing.gov.uk. Probably won't make any difference but might stop someone else loosing their money.

Sadly though, some poor soul out there will fall for this.

Unlikely to be just one poor soul.
