Re: Scam

Ways you can tell this (and similar emails) are fakes:



Quote:
Dear Customers!
Customers! - What's with the ! mark eh?


Quote:
For activation of changes we ask you to proceed under the
link below and log on to your online account.
They would never ask you to login to your account in that way...

Quote:
In case of failure to meet requirements of bank within 48 hours,
your account will be temporarily suspended in order to prevent unsafe transactions.
They would never do that without notification - phone call or letter...

Quote:
Sincerely yours.
Sincerely yours? What!!??


Quote:
Barclays Bank Security Department
Well I'm sure they have one, but it would just come from Barclays - not a specific department!!
