I’m getting a whole lot of these lately and that in itself should be a warning that it is an outright scam! This is another one of those emails that should be deleted immediately. DELETE IT NOW!

I’ve been getting these forever, along with other banks I’ve never heard of.
The newest one I’ve gotten is a little scarier for gullibility sake….UPS is holding a check for me.
Dennis Edells last blog post..50 Post Milestone! And a PR Downgrade? Hmm…
It makes you wonder how people keep falling for them doesn’t it?
Not really. They wouldn’t be so rampant if they didn’t work.
For those, all people really see is, You’re bank account is in trouble! and automatically click out of fear.

I suppose, perhaps I was thinking more along the lines of the scam emails asking for bank details so that they can transfer over huge amounts of money. My bad.
Yea those are just totally bruising ones intelligence LOL. Unfortunately there are lots of people that just WANT it to be true.
Dennis Edells last blog post..Grab Your Offline Marketing Tools Here Too!
Yeah, but like we all know just wanting it doesn’t make it happen, unless you believe in “The Secret”
ALL is a big word. Don’t get me started on the secret. LOL

The best thing to do with this is, if u have an account at the bank which the email is “from”, call dont click!! If there is an issue, they would be happy to clear it up over the phone ;). If u never have or dont currently have an account with that particular bank, delete it and go along with ur busy day, if ur day isnt busy, click the link and put in the most vulgar username and password u can think of. Haha I did this before and got an email 2 days later saying “dear porn cookie4life, ur password “d*cklick” needs to be updated due to server/security issues. Like having fun with the little turds!
Problem is Kollette, once you do that they then know their email reached a legitimate address opening you up for a lot more spam.
Haha BS ur right, but thats why i have 6 emails,1 for employment, 1 for social sites and friends and anything legitimate that i sign up for, 1 for all of my financial accounts, and 2 are strictly spam emails. Therefore they had the crap email to begin with, and on days that im bored i go thru the spam emails and send smarta$$ replies lol. All in good fun i guess, and thats why email addresses are free. Hehe
No worries Kollette, as long as you’re aware and have taken measures to protect yourself then I am more than happy. :drunk_tb:
