But then I remembered I don't have an Egg Card so why would my Egg Card account be blocked?

 

I love phishing emails :lol:

O noes!!!!1!

[Black Rose]

What am I going to do, I can't get access to my non-existent money!

[Violet]

On a few occasions, I've gotten junk mail in my spam folder from Edward Cullen. I LOL'd.

Mmmm Cadbury's Creme Eggs....(Sorry that's what this reminds me of)

 

I once got a voucher for $50 dollars to spend in my Itunes account. I didn't believe it but being the stupid person that I am I opened the link to check it in case and it turned out be a trojan, my anti-virus software stopped me just in time. :sweatdrop:

[Violet]

Cadbury Eggs are beyond delicious. :heart:

Automatic image blocking does the trick, and if they address you as "dear customer" it's dodgy.

[Crests]

Or if they're like "Dear -insertemailaddresshere-".

 

I got one from a bank the other day, and I lol'd.

It's weird, that's the only bit of spam mail I've ever gotten since I changed me email address. :thinking:

[Black Rose]

I keep getting emails saying that my HSBC online account has been suspended due to suspicious activity...

 

... O'Really?

 

Halifax has recently changed their log-in system, so they posted a leaflet out to all account holders with online access as well as sending an email.

 

Watch out for fake facebook emails as well, I've noticed a few of them, "you have a new message, please log-in below to access it" with a link to a dodgy website which harvest your details & properly puts dodgy-stuff on your computer

[busybeeburns]

if you need some monopoly money to tide you over until the end of the month, drop me a PM, I have several million £££ in different boxes!

[busybeeburns]

anyone had any really good "speling" mistakes in their bank spam?

[Crests]

Whoa, does your Monopoly money look different than ours? :surprised:

 

Hahaha yes, but I deleted it so I can't remember what it was. :disappointed:

I was like "WOW THIS IS SO PROFESSIONAL I AM IMPRESSED".

Yeah, I got one of those the other day. Good thing I knew right away it was fake.
