Warning: Scam email message at Xmas.

Jaymack
This is a message I received this morning, amateurish but could be easily clicked on Continue to load account details.  
Email message is reversed here, but is a Black font on a White background. (Note the grammar, use of CAPITALS and pidgeon Engelse).

    Alan Capon:

    I disagree. The correct option is to report it to contact@actionfraud.police.uk who will count it, and may go after the authors. 



    But... informing the company also, means they can take steps to inform their customers that there's a scam email doing the rounds as my bank has done in the past as well as other organisations I'm a client of... 


    Rule of thumb though is never to click on any link in an email even if it looks genuine. Always visit the official website and log in there instead.
