Why me??

Why not you?

I get hundreds of these a month. They fish your address off the net as you have a website and away they go.

It appears to be from France.

This is their server http://www.ovh.com

[geefree]

Yeah But why Chris tho ?

no thats my end. their my host. - then again it could be spam from their servers.. i get enough of it.

Prob get rid of email, never get any from customers.

anyway

why would you blatantly advertise your bank is crap with its security to those that are not members?

just seems strange.

I bank with the abbey and the other day i got something similar. But after looking very closely they wanted me to reply to something like www."addey".com. Cheeky b*stards. Please be careful out there. Your bank will never email you regardin personal info. Anything vaguely resembling this will almost definitely be a scam.

I had a call from an HSBC call centre (Indian lady I think) asking if I had spent about £800 on a certain transaction because it seemed out of my normal spending pattern (I had just bought a TV so it was correct) - I refused to tell them because I'm a suspicious git.

Anyway because I refused to comment they said they would lock my card and told me I had to go to the branch to release it. I just said yeah yeah whatever.

And they did! It was genuine.

But I'd rather have it that way than too lax.

Another tip..........always inform your credit card company if ya thinkin of travelling abroad. One of my custys recently didn't inform them and after using it for the first time, had it blocked for the duration. An overreaction from the card company? maybe, but it makes sense i guess

Yes I find it odd that someone would respond to these guys in the way that theyre trying to get you to, but there is one born every minute; a village will be missing its idiot somewhere. :

These guys are getting very clever too. I had an Email today that did catch me. it was the standard undelivered email notice that they send you when they can't deliver an email. you know if you get the address wrong, or the recipients mailbox is full, I clicked on the link to see who it was that hadn't received my email, it was a bloody advert for perfume. OK deleted and no harm done, but it could have been a virus, a trojan, or a worm. Watch out for this one guys, it can catch you by surprise.
