Watch Out For This Spam Email

Unread post by david63 »

This one almost had me fooled :thumbdown:

An email purporting to be from Tesco bank (there may be other variants) offering you a chance to shop for free at Tesco and giving the impression that it was sent from Amazon (again there may be other variants).

The link sends you to a phishing site

There's one going around from the Inland Revenue too which I received the other day, I have no idea where it would have sent me as I didn't open the attachment, it looked very real but as I know the IR do not have my email address I thought I would take my chances and if I am entitled to the refund of several hundred pounds as stated I'm sure they will write to me :lol: :lol:

The Inland Revenue or HMRC one has been doing the rounds for years - if I had received all the refunds they claim were due to me I would be a millionaire by now.

That one if you click on the link will take you to a site which lists all the banks, expecting you to click on one and then enter your bank account details.
