Default SCAM?

Well I think it is. Received a text from +380672132164 in the early hours saying that someone had posted my full personal and banking information at persdata7.com. When I went to that site it said account suspended.

Anyone on here had something like this done to them?

Sounds like a site hosting PC viruses, you should probably run a scan.

Cheers for that, just been in touch with bank and my account is safe....so far.

You are probably right about the site though Andy, thanks.

Has your bank got your mobile number? If not, then I would think seriously about believing these sorts of scams in the future.

Are you the sort of person who clicks on links in emails which tells you you've got a message waiting for you from a bank which you don't bank with?

Sorry if you get a virus, but these people prey on people who have too much trust or too few brain cells

No they haven't.

Never.

Cheers for that Clare, looked at the site from work, no word from the IT guys yet complaining
