Phishing Crims in the Financial Crisis

They will stop at nothing to get your personal details, bank details,, and as many other details as they can. They are out to get you and they will have the shirt off your back if they can.

I’m not talking about your local tax-office though; I’m referring to the criminals who post phishing scams.

And the latest tactic is to use the bank mergers resulting from the financial crisis as a means to scam you into disclosing your details.

Microsoft, among others, have been warning about con-men attempting to steal your identity by this means.

People are still falling for it though: How do I know this? The criminals are still doing it; that’s how.: If I were a scam-artist and I sent out 10 million emails at random on 10 separate occasions, but nobody replied, then I’d try something else. Just ten replies would be enough to justify sending out another ten lots of ten million.

Read Microsoft’s advice and don’t become another unfortunate scammed-statistic. Even if you get an official-looking email and are 99.99% sure that it’s genuine; all you need do is phone your bank or whoever it purports to be from to check that it really is the real McCoy.

I’m sorry to say that if you don’t bother to check, and rather just jump in with both feet where angels fear to tread, then you’re going to get conned: FACT.

There’s a very simple set of ten rules that you can apply to avoid waking up one day to find yourself up to your eyeballs in it - and the only escape is via un rue d’merde’:

  • Microsoft and other reputable companies don’t ever send patches and updates by email.
  • If your bank emails you requesting details after a "security alert",  merger, or anything else; phone up and check before you click or send anything.
  • If you get email from someone you don’t know, or for someone else, with an attachment - delete it.
  • If your computer’s been compromised, the only way that you can be 100% sure that it’s clean is to reformat and reinstall.
  • The only thing cheap online Viagra makes hard is your financial recovery afterwards in many cases.
  • If the spelling’s bad then the deal is commonly worse.
  • If you unsubscribe from spam you’ll get a hundred times more spam.
  • If you have suspicions they’re probably right.
  • If the address (URL) of the page on which you’re just about to make a financial transaction doesn’t begin with https:// then don’t make the transaction.
  • If it seems too good to be true then it’s probably bullsh*t.

Ignore the above at your peril.

Be safe online.
