THIS^^^

I tell people the same thing with CL scam emails. Your instinct is to reply and tell them to fuck off but then you have verified the address for them. Sadly most don’t listen.

Nospool, I got the same thing in my UB email. I am an HSBC customer but luckily have common sense. It blows me away how many fall for this stuff. Glad nobody in here has yet it seems. 🙂

Yea I’m sure some people fall for it. They had stuff posted everywhere trying to warn people not to open the link.
