    Metro Bank Email Rejection
    Important message from Metro Bank (but the email address is actually information@lifeteen.com)

    Hello

    this email is to notify you that the email address associated with your account is rejecting vital account notifications and has been set for removal.


    then lots of junk about account settings, account console, assistance and policies.

    Really it's all just to get you to click a link that says "Follow This Link"

    No thanks - not that I even have a Metro Bank account but that doesn't matter to the spammers.
    A hit rate of 1 in a million is fine for them as they send out hundreds of millions of these spam messages.

        Haven't seen a courier phishing message for a while but now they've started again.

        FedEx No: 3456

        FedEx International

        An email containing confidential personal information was sent to you.
        Click here to open this email in your browser.

        Thank you for choosing FedEx.


        Then lots of blurb copied from the real FedEx.

        Such a waste of time.

                    A typical phishing email.




                    Your order number 43527891 has been processed.

                    Dear partner,

                    please check your order details and ensure all of the items on your order are correct.

                    You will receive a dispatch notification by email confirming that the goods have been dispatched.

                    Then a well laid out order for poly cotton lining and a link to click to review the order.

                    The email is from creatingkindly.com




                    The scammers people will try to fix whatever mistake has been made in sending this email but it's just a phishing attempt to get your confidential details.



                    Never reply to such emails.

                      Yes, had similar! Lately ones about "engine parts" PayPal account payment, and being a long lost relative of some woman in Africa dying of cancer that wants me to contact her regarding lots of money she wants me to give to charity! ( thought that had stopped hadn't had any for ages!
                      Annoying phone calls as well, random numbers that look like mobile ones, that leave automated messages about benefits and pressing numbers on you phone key pad ( land line by the way) . Contacted BT in the end and they told me after him looking they all originated in Holland and were spam they have added them to the list they have. BT now have 1572 service with which you can bar these sort of numbers which seems to work. Keep up your good work.

                          Automated message saying that if I was in receipt of government benefits to press button one and to press button nine to be removed from the data list.
                          Computer voice no accent, never picked the phone up, the messages were on my answer phone, about five times ( possibly more as some witheld did not leave a message) with what looked like mobile phone number's ( slightly different each time) or withheld/ international.Hope that helps.
