Pzkpfw-e Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I get a dozen phishing attempts a week, Paypal, Bank (Any bank, doesn't matter I'm not with them),Amazon account, anything that involves passwords. I reckon they bank on people using the same password on many accounts, get one, just put that & the e-mail address into any bank website and see if they get anywhere. Only been caught once, luckily just on Evilbay, when someone tried to sell a motorbike using my account. Not a very clever attempt, motorbike being in California, me in the UK!

Tony B Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) I've had a couple of odd ones claiming to be from Amazon. There is easy to tell as the email adress isn't even corect. So how do they get here? Edited December 23, 2013 by Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
