Another spam bank mail!

[Leicester Thumper]

after seeing the paypal thread I hust remembered...

 

the other day I got an email from 'lloyds TSB' saying about my account being overdrawn or something.

 

well whoever sent it hasn't got a braincell since i don't have any account with them!!!

 

since im a whizz on a keyboard, i went and did some research on the email i got etc, turns out to be spamming or fraudulant taking you to a link related with haiti.... yeah wierd...

 

i keep meaning to report it to Loyds, got a branch down the road i might nip in and tell them in the morning.

 

so just watch out if you are a TSB account holder

It's funny, but my previous e-mail account got about 20 spams of various types per day (Nigeria, cheap Viagra, Bank account phishing, Russian ladies offering services etc. etc) but on my current one (same provider, different account) I have only had a couple in 3 years!

I have just had a lovely email from a Mrs Gaddafi. Apparently her husband is having some problems and would like to get some money out of Libya. If I just send her my bank details she will put millions into my account and I can keep a big chunk of it as a thank you................ A very old scam recycled!

yes I know what you mean, although when i receive the spam i normally add that domain and that user to the blocked senders list so it never gets to my computer, touchwood it has worked!

[mezzoman253]

Only 20 per day, I get around 300, yes that's three hundred. It all started after ordering something from the States about 5 years ago, and I assume my address was sold on. I get everything from "you've got a speeding ticket in New York State" to various mails from UPS/DHL/ACT all saying I've a parcel to collect. I've just got used to them now.

 

Strangely they appear in my in box on the main house PC, but not on the satellite PC in the railway room(wireless). They all appear on my webmail page.

 

I forward them on to email@actionfraud.org.uk . Andy recommended we do that in another thread somewhere on here. It may help catch the b*£%"!"£ds (culprits).

I had an offer of tell us your account and we can put millions in it for you, claiming that the bank in question was on the Scily Isles. I emailed back saying no problems, I can get there quite easily, please let me know the back a/c details and I'll forward you what's left.... They never got back to me.

Are you talking about bankers (w)?

It was much higher but the website host put some filtering in and it cut it right down. I assume spammers just take the web address and try all sorts of prefixes e.g. admin@ sales@ etc. on the off chance of getting a hit. That's probably why I don't get the spams now - no website anymore! But I am still surprised how little I get. My pre-website e-mail spams were also higher than now.

I always 'block' the sender of any e-mail that I think is spam. Sadly I have an AOL account and you cannot forward an e-mail on AOL unless you open it and I won't open them under any circumstances!

 

The number of spam e-mails I get seems to be related to wht web sites I have visited. Those from the USA seem to be among the worst although since I don't visit East European or African sites that may be being unfair on North America!

 

Just treat any offer of money for free or pills as spam and delete. That way you don't get any nasty surprises!

I don't think visiting African (or other sites) determines whether you get their spam or not!

 

BTW Anyone had any spam from this address?:

 

zmadzia@poczta.onet.pl

 

Don't know what it is, just blocked it.

Trust me to say I'd only had a couple of spams in three years!

If you do not know, the best thing to do with phishing emails is to send a copy to the security department of the said bank, but before doing so view the complete header information of the original email, copy it and add it as part of your message body to the bank. If you don't do this most of the detail can get removed upon forwarding the message.

 

A sample header from a good source.

Ah, I am not alone. If that really had been the title do we suppose the mail contents would have promised that for a little deposit something much larger would come along?
