RR_Trials Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 My step sis got one saying that someone has been spending money with her pay-pal details, she shat it but it was pretty obviously a scam it was asking her to give credit card details nd some bank info. Obviously she checked her bank just out of curiosity to see if the money that had allegedly been taken out of bank account had actually gone, had it f**k!I got the same email a few days later and i don't even have a paypal acount let alone one hooked up to my email.EFIN SCAMERS!Cheers, Rorz!

adamtrials Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 It's phishing, happens all the time and has been done for years.Just ignore it, and go and check your account for whatever it is manually (i.e. not through the link they give...) if you're worried.

20inchsuperstar Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 thats the thing! i have no account so it just confuses mei would have just left them anyway, cheers though guys,matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 It's common sense. If it comes from Halifax (Or apparently is from them) and you don't have an account it's obviously a scam or a cock-up. Either way, delete it.Phishing is old news now...

Krisboats Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I had a couple of these a while back. They kept coming through from random companies and banks etc for a week and a half. Must have had 10 or so emails from them. I sent the a snotty e-mail back by copy and pasting the same message into a reply from each address, telling them i'm not that stupid and they should go and get a real job. Day after that i got a reply from them with all this crap about how I should watch my language etc before i got reported to the police for threatening them Never had an e-mail from them after that.
