Gyn_Paul Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I'm sure we are all wise to this be a reminder wouldn't hurt. There are currently phishing emails doing the rounds purporting to come from BNP PARIBASandLe CREDIT LYONAIS Easy for me to spot as I don't have an account with either of these banks, but perhaps less so if I had had.They are the usual plea for you to offer up on a plate you details and password.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 The fact that many of these e-mails purporting to come from French banks are in English would seem to be a bit of a giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be lots of guilable (sp) French about if the banks were sufficiently worried to pubicise the problem. But the again it's better to be told twice than not at all, I pupose.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 A lot of the 'old scams' are appearing in French now, bit like closing the gate after the horse has bolted really but I suspect they know they can't work anymore in the English speaking market so they are having a go somewhere else. I suspect that it's happening to other nationalities in Europe it's just we don't hear about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
