I thought I had been hacked, my computer had viruses, criminals knew my passwords, I was worried they had access to my bank account. If you were using your mobile phone, don’t worry. it’s the safest place to access Facebook, but you do need to warn your friends that you have been hacked and change any passwords that you typed in – visit our website for more advice.
Stay Safe Online – another GOV.UK scam email
#staysafeonline
We received another email today which looked like it had been sent from HMRC. How can you tell that it’s not from GOV.UK?
Apart from the fact that the English is not quite right (to have your tax refund creditED to your bank account), if you hover over ’GOV.UK’ you can see that if you clicked on it, you would be sent to ‘usuprint.com’
and if you actually did click on it, your anti-virus software should warn you that the link is dangerous ‘deceptive site ahead’.
