Post office text scam alert!

I find a good practice is if you get something that might be legit like an import payment or paypal payment you didn't make never click the link in the email or text but log onto the site separately and check there.

Yeh!!! Your right about that link!

It’s the link that gives the scammers remote access to your emails..
This is what they did to me.

They redirected my incoming e mails to themselves.
Then pretended to be me..
Saying “ due to moving bank this is my new bank details please make all Future payments to this account “
I lost 3k.

That's good advice.

The stand out thing with the post office scam is that the post office don't make deliveries in the UK, Royal Mail do, but I can see how people aren't going to be alert to it and click the link.

Scary really how good some of these scams are getting.

Sorry to hear about that mate, hopefully you'll manage to get it back through your bank.
