Ok more than usual Wink

 

Wife got an email from 'Trademe' reporting her account had been suspended.

Almost clicked on the link provided but we though hold on and looked closer.

 


I wonder how many people will click on the link and 'update' their information.

Good bit of social engineering, very emotive.

I've had a few of those. These types of phishing emails will get smarter too. Perhaps companies shouldn't put any clickable links in emails at all.
