Orange Account Scam

[Quillan]

Got the email below over night, why is it a scam, well check the return path in the header plus in my case its the wrong date the payment is taken and the wrong amount. I have included the header. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK IN THE EMAIL OR ENTER YOUR ACCOUNT DETAILS WHEN ASKED.

OK WAS this the widest post ever?[:D].

Also covered earlier in here http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/2003058/ShowPost.aspx

There you go I have 'narrowed' it down a bit for you.

Only general Orange scams were mentioned. This one is more specific so I have put it on the forum as an example of the current one. Not everyone is 'up to speed' on these sort of things and may think they are real which is why I posted it, also not everyone has the benefit of your worldly wisdom. [;-)]

[nounours]

Not just for me, the bloke in the next house was reading it[:D]

No I agree, a word in the ear and all that .[:P] The one I mentioned is very similar, it says there has been an overpayment of X €, to confirm this and get a reimbursement, enter your orange password and confirm your bank details.  They are getting better at forging the Orange logo and page set up, just need to learn to spell[Www]

There has also been a torrent of fake Paypal security update E mails recently, so its worth repeating if its not addresssed to you specifically its not genuine and nobody asks for your personal details to be sent in an E mail.

Everything I get from Orange automatically gets binned anyway, I've yet to read an interesting email from them :)

[nounours]

So you have never used your fidelity points then[8-)]

[Mr Coeur de Lion]

Yeah when I log into my account to check my voip phone usage to make sure they're not ripping me off. Got a couple of surge protectors the other month.

[dragonrouge]

I see Orange emails from time to time pointing us in the direction of Fidelity points. Simply and since 2007 have just binned them on the basis that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

This has now made me think?

How please does one now identify the points you have and secondly spend them or use them!

You will see that both in this regard and some others I am simply an innocent abroad. However I do think that more rather than less information is better.

[Bugsy]

Log into your Orange Account, click on Espace Client, click on Fidelity and you will see your points.

Go into the shop and choose what you want.

Place an order and the goods will arrive within a week.

and if you've not been there before dump the 10,000 junk emails you've got [:D]

[captain america]

I got the same scam message but why does the Wanadoo anti spam filter not intercept a message purporting to come from Orange.fr which blatantly didn't? Surely in letting this message through their filter they are tacitly endorsing it.

[nounours]

Because it was addressed to you specifically and not multiple recipients?
