WARNING: Over the weekend many of you may have received Emails appearing to be from your bank/building society asking for verification of your bank details.

 

Please DO NOT reply to any of these Emails with any of your Personal details, Bank details, Credit/Debit Card details, etc. A Bank would NEVER ask for details such as this over un-secure Email, these are all scams trying to obtain personal details from you.

 

This is an example of one of the Emails:

i think i got some of these supposedly from ebay

 

entered in my username and password and then got suspicious when it went to a non ebay site so changed them straight away.

I was going to post a gag about flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality but it's just flogging a dead horse.

well actually the email looked very real, even was from the right email address and stuff. At least i realised that it was possibly a fake and changed my password straight away

I was going to post a gag about flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality but it's just flogging a dead horse.
