chris_b Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 There are lots of these floating around for all sorts of companies. I just block the sender when I get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thanks! Is the point here that they want you to click on a link, as usual, or is there a new element or principle in this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I got this one today too. It's the old one of getting you to click a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I was wondering where the scam was too but if its asking to click a link then that makes sense. I guess you should always access payments for any system via their website and using your password. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gs_triumph Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Yip... The exactly the same email today. I guess they are scanning cookies or something to send you something relevant to browsing history? They try to get you to click the link to a site that looks like the site they posing as where you then enter your username and password.
