Scams: Bogus mail from banks
Posted by Andrew Ferrier on Oct 29th, 2007
There have been a number of scam attempts infiltrating the system. The best one has pretended to be from Internal Revenue promising to credit your account with £200 if you provide your bank details. Needless to say it is a con (As if Internal revenue would give you anything!!)
Schools have also been receiving invitations from the Royal Bank of Scotland and Nationwide requesting account information . Once more, this is a con.
If you get an unsolicited email from a bank or government department inducing you through a bribe ( tax credit) or a threat ( compromised security if you don’t respond- how ironic), copy the mail header and visit Millersmiles.co.uk to see if it is on record.
Remember if the offer is too good to be true…it generally is!!
