Easter's coming so I thought, why not?
And a Happy St. Patrick's Day to those who celebrate!
In other news, I received this email first thing yesterday morning from my bank:
'Dear Client,
As per our database update, your online account with us is currently suspended.
If you want to enable your account, please verify and complete your personal information.
To launch the verification process, please follow the link below and follow the proposed procedures.
Please follow the link below to continue,... Your access will be recovered within the next 24 hrs.'
I was honestly alarmed as the email contained the bank logo and seemed quite real. Fortunately, I decided not to click the link and to try logging into my account online. It worked fine. Then I took a closer look at the email and realized it had no real contact information other than this 'link'. Almost certainly this is a dangerous hoax and I have emailed the real bank with a copy of this letter so they can be aware of this incident.
Be careful everyone!
The chocolate looks dangerous. Mails like that have been circulating for months, and it is important not to click on the attachments. Banks here never send out mails like that, so they have to be bad! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Christine. There are so many of these scams around that it's really scary.
ReplyDeleteThat Cadbury looks totally wonderful. I LOVE dark chocolate.
Blessings......
ReplyDeleteThank you for the FYI.
I make it a habit to not open anything from the bank rather i go in and inquire. too much thievery out there.
peace.

Scammers are getting more sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteI never click links from emails that look fishy. Happy St. Patrick's Day.
ReplyDeleteWell done on avoiding the scam. If I got an email telling me something was up with my bank account the first thing I'd do is call the bank. If I got a call from the "bank" I'd go visit them.
ReplyDeleteThose scammers are sure keeping us on our toes!
ReplyDeleteI love dark chocolate. Not everyone does but I like the taste.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's so important to never click on those links or fall for those scams. A bank would never contact a client in that manner!
The candy looks delicious. I'm so glad you didn't get taken in my their ruse. So many scams out there...
ReplyDeleteHard to believe how close Easter is, and for the first time in awhile I'm off work that day
ReplyDeleteAmazing how many scams there are out there.
