Sometimes, the opposite is the case: One warning for those who may not know: Likewise, if you see the following in the URL: citibank.com.login.promo.scammer.ru/fake_but_real-looking_citibank_page.htm ...then clicking that link will load this page: scammer.ru/fake_but_real-looking_citibank_page.htm Any amount of additional text or random-looking strings can be inserted anywhere by the scammer to distract you (or to hide the revealing part of the URL by making it run off your screen and get truncated).

PC Matic and Google mail seem to handle all the weird and wonderful spam that is sent my way. Do people still believe that they are being contacted by an African princess who needs them to help her send millions of dollars out of the country. We get far more bogus telephone calls these days than emails. We have phone numbers in the UK and USA and over 90% of them are American. It is something that needs to hbe dealt with. There are pretty odd results - I recently had a legitimate phone call from my doctor's surgery and was more than a little abrupt with the caller - luckily she had also been suffering from bogus calls and we had a good laugh at the situation. Can I add that even if the call is from a legitikate supplier there can be problems when giving card information. We had £6500 extracted from two cards by an ASDA (Walmart) employee a few years ago and had to be (eventually) compensated by our bank and credit card company. After many years we still await the courtessy of an email or returned telephone call from ASDA. Be careful, it's better to appear over cautipous than skint. |
