Uncle Mog Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I've had this one loads of times, looks very realistic and I could see how some folk may be fooled. Been getting a load saying they're from barclays bank and HSBS recently as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundian Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I thought everyone knew not to use links received in emails, especially since all legit emails from banks etc tell you not to, and that they won't ever ask for personal details.
