I really do not understand how some people can trust and really send their bank info to this people that spam the internet. But clearly there is many people that answer this “win” emails.
If you take a look at the email below there is many things that I found strange
1.
The sender is a Yahoo email and not a real bank email with the name of the bank and then .com.
2.
The send sends to undisclosed-recipients that’s a lot of people and not only you. But in the email he says he only send to you.
3.
Besides the email does not make any sense at all and all the grammatical error why do they send secret codes in an email?
4.
The email is a live.com free email that anyone can get and not very likely to be used by a bank. The phone is probably a free phone and why in earth would he give you his cell phone number?
I do not have to go on if you just check these simple things then you will never fall for these fake emails ever again.
