Irregularities.........
« on: 11 January 2013, 11:15:56 »

Is anyone else getting bombarded by emails claiming that there have been "irregularities" with your bank account?

So far I have had emails concerning my accounts with HSBC, The Cooperative Bank, and Lloyds Bank.  Of course I have no accounts with those banks, and I know this is all part of the long running scam. But it has just somehow increased recently! :-X

These scam mails have been going for years - if you can't "set/adjust" the filters on your mail server, just delete them.

I know that dbug, but over the last week there has been a rush of them amongst my usual/expected emails ;) ;) 

How do you adjust the settings without interfering with other emails? ???

You need access to your isps mail server - usually accessible through your account control panel.
Failing that you can set your email client to delete unwanted emails once they download.
