A friend sent me a screen shot of this scary phishing email she recently received. If you receive any of these fraudulent scams please don't click on anything, just delete immediately. Just reading it makes me feel vulnerable. The best thing would be to go to your bank website, log in and check from there if you are concerned.
Here is the definition of 'phishing' - 'the fraudulent practice of sending emails purporting to be from reputable companies in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.'
The clocks roll forward tonight, don't forget!

Spring forward again?! Thanks for the reminder. I hadn't a clue it was that time again.
YEs, these things turn up from time to time, and they get deleted. So many wicked people out there trying to cash in on the unwary. Hugs, Valerie
some scary stuff going on for sure, I get some quite often from Paypal and different banks,, its crazy, I just delete, if our bank needs to alert us they call, I am so ready for springing forward!
So sad.
Love having more daylight :)
Thanks for the info and the hour reminder!
That would make me nervous too!
Very important info. Never click on any of these. Banks and other major corporations never send emails like this out!
what scary spam !!
I just hate that! It's scary and invasive.
How can anyone with any sense of right and wrong, scam other people like that?
so many people still fall for these :(
They do become clever in their acts
Many thanks for the information.
Here in the UK we don't alter our clocks for a few weeks yet!
All the best Jan
There are so many of these around. I've heard that it's not just seniors who are getting scammed, but the younger people as well. No one is immune.
and i though your country is saved
People gotta be careful. These kinds of things have been around forever.
