chris_b Posted March 22, 2017 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
BassTractor Posted March 22, 2017 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
Grangur Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 I got this one today too. It's the old one of getting you to click a link. Quote

dmccombe7 Posted March 22, 2017 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
gs_triumph Posted March 22, 2017 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. Edited March 22, 2017 by gs_triumph Quote
