Anybody else had a text message from HSBC saying a payment has been made from the account to a person not known to us, leaving a link to click on, possible scam, be careful. !!!

If there's a link to click on, it's definitely a scam!

Thanks Keith, I have been in touch with HSBC and they said exactly the same, not what you want to be reading first thing in the morning, worrying times

There does seem to be no end of bank emails flying around the ether at the moment. My UK banks have sent 6 in two weeks. However they have all turned out to be kosher and always informing me that the interest on various accounts has dropped YET AGAIN. Its almost as if the scammers are aware of these genuine emails and trying to "hide" theirs amongst the genuine. "ooops"!!!

I was scammed last week, I employed a carpenter to make me a double bed, paying the money up front, he's done a bunk.

It's lovely when they do, isn't it.
