So, I'm checking my email tonite and come across one from 'my' bank. I stop and think about this for a few moments and remember that I did in fact give my email addy to my bank. But then I realize that this email was sent to me thru a business addy that I never gave to my bank.
Now I'm curious. I decide to check it out. Sure enough it's one of those ' it appears that your online bank account info needs to be updated' scams. ( I don't do ANY banking on-line).I know that I've heard about where to report and forward such email scams in the hopes that the perps are caught and shut down. Now I can't remember where or who to contact about this.
Anybody got the current info? I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks.

I'm sure your bank would know....

I just checked my banks website, they have an online phishing report form.

[.

I get them all the time, and I don't even bank at the TD. That's why they call it phishing.

BANKS WILL NOT ASK YOU FOR YOUR PASSWORD AND ACCOUNT INFO!!!!

I usually get e-mails from American Banks... to my cogeco.ca account! lmao
But yeah, usually you have to look no further than the website of the Bank who "sent" you the e-mail. They should have a link that you can forward the scamming e-mail to.
Good luck!

Just delete those e-mails, like the ones from Nigeria where someone has a lot of money and wants to give you some of it, providing you give him your bank details, d'oh!

Thanks guys. I'll see what I can do with the info you have given me.
These scam artists piss me off and if I can help in getting some of them 'shut down'. I'm willing to spend some time doing so.

Here is the latest scam email being sent out. I just received it....

What kind of person falls for this shit anyhow?
