Co-operative Bank scam

The email scammers are still coming for your money.

Their sole aim is to part you from your hard-earned funds – so keep your wits about you – at all times!

This scammer purports to be from The Co-operative Bank, but the sender is “7031@ext.marista-lisboa.org” which evidently isn’t a Co-operative Bank email address – it appears to be from a Portuguese web server.

Remember, no bank or building societies will ever email you asking for any sort of information – or provide a hotlink to your account..

The safest method to contact your bank is to save the correct URL for their website in your browser – then always use this to contact them. Never, ever, respond by clicking on an email hotlink.

If you have vulnerable members of your family, or friends that could be taken in, tell them to be on their guard – particularly at this time of year.

Keep safe.
