deffinatley, the mother inlaw has been done twice. would have thought she would learn after the 1st time.


looks very official and the web site is very well made.

i never put my details into any links asking me for my details. would either ring them or go to their site myself.

Ive had emails for hsbc, lloyds, Clydesdale bank, but I'm not a member of any of them so I've always just deleted it, but I got one in from bank of Scotland who I am with, but I remembered on some paperwork I had from my bank, they said they NEVER send emails to you, so you know 100% that if you receive an email it's a scam.

With that in mind, I opened it and had a look. Spouted a load of rubbish about how someone tried to hack my account and I was to sign in to verify my details or my account would be closed, so I humoured them and clicked the link. It took my to a sign in page that was IDENTICAL in every way to my genuine one, other than the fact the web address at the top said www.george_agadeguengo.com or something similar

To an older person or someone not used to the Internet I can see how it can be easy to be conned!

I get at least 2 of these a day from all sorts of banks. I've also have them from HMRC, Paypal, DHL (when I had a DHL parcel in transit, so very convincing). Of course, they just get deleted.

If you are in doubt just hover over the link and see what it says.
