BOGUS texts & E Mails, say your BANK ACCOUNT IS LOCKED ! Anyone?

[BLUETIT]

Anyone else getting these. ?

Had TWO now, one text and one E Mail, saying my account is locked and to log in my details (ya, I came in on that boat yesterday ), to get it unlocked.

Went to the bank this morning and although they checked everything was ok, they were not interested in the number or site address it came from.

Seems like it is just one of life's hazards, barstewards they are. (the hackers not the bank staff)

PS:--- Heading should read SAYING, can't edit it.

That's a great rule

Seems to be quite a few of these around these days.

I saw something about one yesterday that came in via text...within a legitimate chain of texts from Barclays bank . Scary.

As older people (who're more susceptible to these cons) pass away, con-men are going to have to come up with better tricks to outsmart the tech-savvy generations of tomorrow.

I've been getting loads of "we've got £millions of lottery money in your name..." or "help me get millions out of my country..." type emails recently.
Never replied to any of these scams, but my name is on a list somewhere.

I always seem to get loads of these.

Lately I've been getting pervy ones from young Russian ladies asking if I'd like to do 'stuff' to them.

I'm tempted to click on the links just to see if it's Mrs R again.

Why would you need links? don't you still have all those home movies we made in your cellar?
