Spam is still on the rise and seems to becoming more of a problem for many of my clients. I am being asked more and more about was to stop spam. Anyway, this blog wasn’t meant to be about spam, but it is slightly related…

Now and then an email about my bank details slips through my basic filters. I can see from a mile away that it is a fake bank email for a number of reasons. One, I don’t bank at this bank and two, all the links point to a website that isn’t the bank’s real site.

Occasionally, I have nothing better to do, which is not that often, and I actually follow the link, log in and fill in the forms. All with fake details of course; usually something like Earl Hickey… I did this today and was surprised to see that this…

I thought that this was such a great warning and a great service to all those people that were genuinely caught out and didn’t realise that the email was a fake. This must be the Google plugin for Firefox?! If anyone knows, please inform us.
