Another Phishing scam
Posted by jane - April 24, 2013
They do roll in don’t they, especially this time of the year “pretending” to be from the Tax office promising to send you a tax refund. However we all know that the Tax Office will contact you via post, so we all ignore them.
I had one recently that “pretended” to come from Booking.com, actually I have had a few from different booking agencies, about a supposed hotel room that I have booked.
I don’t believe any of them, and I don’t click. But to some unsuspecting people they could very easily click because they are intrigued to find what it is all about.
Then yesterday I had a phone call from VISA about a large transaction that was due to go out from our bank account, they just needed our last three security digits to stop it. I didn’t tell them anything because yet another scam.
There are some nasty people and we all have to be very careful about what we click, share and tell.
