Getting phishing emails from “Revenue” on a daily.
It’s very annoying.
You really shouldn’t have clicked that link though.
Where have you been putting your email address?
I’m always curious as to how people start getting these emails.
I get nothing bar what I’m supposed to be getting.
Read the post title! It was a text message, not an email.
The brilliance of someone asking someone else to read the title when they clearly haven’t read the post the op was responding to…
Quite convincing if you’re in an early house, since 7am.
That one’s been knocking around for a while. This morning, I got this:
“We wish to inform you that as of April 06 you are no longer eligible to receive a Tax Return. The reason being the expiration of your current information regarding the method by which you receive your Tax Returns. To alleviate this problem you must renew this information by filling out and submiting this form
Until you complete this process you will not be able to receive any Tax Return. Please note: Submitting invalid records can lead to the inability to receive Tax Returns for a period of 6 months.
Please submit the Tax Return Information Update Form and allow us 6-9 days in order to process it.
Thank you.
“cell phone” should have been the first clue. bloody yanks.
Or most likely the the bloody Chinese or the bloody Nigerians talking bloody yank-speak.
I’ve been getting these also from the UK Revenue – quite convincing too. Also Santander and Bank of Ireland. They will send phishing mails out to millions – all they look for is just one fool out of that spread. And they get it.
Quite convincing?
The link is right there in the text, undisguised and obviously dodgy.
Ah, but you know. Your Mum or Dad wouldn’t have a rashers about dodgy links.
I bet Patrick feels a right fool now. He must be dead jealous of you and your ability to spot a scam. I wish I was as streetwise as you, myself.
So did you get the money then!? I filled out the form a few days back and not get anything yet! Fecken public service. So bloody slow.
Feck that, “The king of Nigeria” wants to deposit 9 million in my bank account. sent the nice man all my bank details this morning.
I got something like this from an “Irish Water”…
it seemed legit, did I get stung?
