Online Banking Security Team / Your Egg Messages

Today we have a two fake messages from the "Egg" online bank (yes - for those of you from overseas there really is an online bank in the UK called Egg!!)

The second scammer, at the bottom of the page, has used one of those "fill in the blanks" scam templates, and forgotten to change it all - so although the email claimed to come from Egg, the contents tell me about my Halifax bank account.  Note to scammer - must try harder.

NEVER click on a link in a bank email - even if it appears to come from your own bank.  ALWAYS enter the address of your bank directly into your web browser.

These scammers are after your bank account and credit card details.  If you think you have accidentally given your bank details to a scammer, contact your bank immediately.

attempts can occur in a number of ways (e.g. credit card fraud,
telephone banking or Internet scams).
