Hmmm, another cheesy title...
I received an email today from my bank (Bank of Scotland), which looked like a rather obvious scam. Given the fact that the banks and other online financial institutes are trying to make everyone aware of such scams, imagine my surprise when I sent the email to their investigations team, and they replied to say that, no, it was genuine. They are, however, 'in the process of raising the issue of the email format with our card member services, so that emails of this nature are more easily identified.'
So, why did I think it was fake? Well, here is a screenshot of the email with some details changed.
The email address the email is from is not from a Bank of Scotland domain; the TO field is all screwed up. Need I say more? Now, try and access this site, which is where the links take you.
Very dodgy. So, would you of believed this to be from a trusted source...
