Email Scam alert
Never respond to unsolicited emails with your personal details, with credit card or bank account information and never send money or cash.
If you do, you risk having your bank account or online account information being compromised/or stolen. You could lose all of your money in your account or find that you have a debt to your credit card provider that you did not personally incur.
It’s a fact that your Bank, or companies like Paypal will never send you an email asking you to submit personal information via a email or a web link.
Look carefully at emails that ask you to call someone or to respond to an email or a web link with personal information. Stop. Delete these types of email and do not respond.
If you are concerned then contact your Bank or online account provider via your normal trusted sources, ask them about the email contents.
