It usually goes something like the bank has had a major upgrade to their internet banking systems and that users of the bank should login to verify that the system is truly up and running again.

As I’m sure you are aware, we don’t speak english natively in Sweden. We speak swedish. The perpitrators know about this too, but unfortunately for them they don’t know the grammar of the swedish language very well. Who has ever heard of a letter from a bank with bad grammar? They are more or less as formal and strict as they come.

Still, it seems people actually go and click through the link in the letter, give away their account information and then get surprised they have been conned. That to me is naivity beyond belief.

I am dealing with this subject a little differentley at my blog where I have implemented protection from spam in the form of captchas. The Spammers are sadly all over blogs and guestbooks as well.

Yeah they are such utter crap. I nail these goons now with a fraud response from my security suite.

Hey, I liked your site a lot. I left a message there. Hope my humour wasn’t over the top.

Thanks for posting.

I totally agree with you. My junk mail is absolutely inundated with emails saying I’ve won all these lotteries I never entered or I’ve been left X thousands of dollars or someone’s died and in their generosity decided tp leave me so much because my email address went into a raffle.

The best ones are when someones friend, relative or client has died and he/she left millions of dollars in a bank account. The person writing is prepared to give you a percentage of the total as compensation for transferring these funds to your bank account…yeah right!

But the scammers all want the same thing

Name
Address
Telephone No
Fax No
Date of Birth

It baffles me that people still fall for these scams especially after you read about them in the papers or see them on TV.

I have to admit I’ve been drawn in a couple of times but luckily have realised what they were.

Apart from the “if it’s too good to be true-it probably is” moment – look at the email addresses they come from.

Most of them are gmail,yahoo etc – and these are supposed to be professional people i.e barristers writing

That makes me think they would have proper name or company email addresses.

Some do but once you’ve received shed loads of them, you can tell without opening them what they are.

Best wishes
