just received e mail saying that over £356 has been transfered into my Ans????????-payroll account ????????.-with lots of details of the transaction.
I was not addressed personally, never heard of company and know nothing about it. Was asked if any probs to click on their link.
No idea about company but it appears to be a new scam.
deleted e mail-cant remember exact name of company

Not a new scam. Some more information about it on the 'warning' forum.
EDIT: sorry I can't post a direct link I seem to be having problems with the site today, probably user error

Never ever ever ever ever click on a "banking" link on an email, expecially if the email is not personalised.
Before you do anything, ring your bank to find out more, as they usually do not send out this type of email.
And if any email asks you for your password, well... :eek:Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.0 -
I tried calling Barclays (on a free phone number) to report one of the best scam emails I've seen - it was very convincing. Got a call centre in India who wouldn't transfer me, he only gave me a premium line number. Barclays loss, not mine!0
