I am assuming the pub address is the "customer" address, I may call them later. The email heading is very accurate and could easily deceive.

The email heading is very accurate and could easily deceive. That makes sense now. If it wasn't for the bad English, I'd assume it was real and just sent to the wrong email address.

harrycatcat1 Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Isn't it marvellous how they can detect this activity because I haven't even created an account yet? 🤔🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powler Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Also another scam doing the rounds atm is one sent by text about unable to pay your EE bill, it has a link in it to login. Of course don't click the link. Heard there is also a similar one pretending to be from Santander. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persistent devils, tried it three times in the last month with slightly different link addresses. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
