If its anything like the number of people that contact my company to enquire where to ship the £600 transfer money so that I might ship them £10 million that they've won on the National Lottery, then one heck of a lot

We're couriers and some scamsters have cribbed our website/details to look authentic then provided mobile and yahoo/hotmail type email addys. They want the "lucky" victim to contact them (us) so as to arrange the so-called shipping charge to be sent, in order that they might get their winnings

We get emails and live chat and some people will just not take the word SCAM as fact! We get roughly 10-15 a day. These are the ones that don't follow instructions and contact the mobile/hotmail type account! This would suggest to me that there are potentially that number per day who get in touch with the scammers and if they get 1 in 4 thats £1500 or so a day

The last one for Barclays I had was quite realistic, only a dodgy link once you clicked on it was the only real give away.

Glad I know better though

if you are an idiot then you deserve to get caught out. how could anyone be stupid enough to believe anything like that or similar

Just had a live chat enquiry on the above from Alberquerque!

If there are still people about now who fall for these types of scams, they deserve to be taken for eveything they've got. Sheep are there for shearing after all!

In short, enough people get scammed to make it worth the scammers continuing. If they didn't catch anybody, they'd move on to somethign else.

if people dont have accounts with these companies, why on earth do they still reply???


yes had several people at work who got the Barclays email at home, they phoned them up/replied to email then phoned me to query & investigate whether this was legit

ive been getting barclays ones, they use to be quite tacky, but the later ones look authentic and there urls do actually start with www.barclays.co.uk ((online banking with them is www.ibank.barclays)) I actually humour them now by going to the site that they link to and put things in for my username like "you f*cking ********"
security number "your mum sucks donkey d!ck"
passcode "ferret f*cker"

People are quite trusting unlike us cynics - esp older people - so dont be too tough on them!

I had a 'security' call off a credit card issuer on my mobie today. Withheld their number and kicked off with 'can I have your date of birth please'. Told him where to get off and ended the call. I followed up to see if it was genuine [it was] and told them I was shocked and what an awful security precedent they were setting in this way. Ludicrous.

My bank got ****ty with me when I wouldn't give them my security details.

Couldn't believe it, It was about half ten at night and I had my head under the dash working on my car, managed to pick up the phone anyway and said sorry it's not convenient.. she wouldn't take NO for an answer.
Have a good mind to complain about that
I actually had to hang up on her in the end !!!
