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!

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.
