Emails from the bank, etc..
I logged in to do my banking and there was yet another warning about fraudulent emails circulating. Apparently people are clicking the links they get in emails which look like they come from the bank, and are losing their personal information because of it.
Forgive me for what I am about to say but....
How can anyone be so stupid to still believe these things are real? Have you been hiding under a rock all these years? Do you not watch the news, or at least read it? Do you honestly think that a bank you don't even have an account with is going to send you an email?
When I got my bank account, I didn't give them an email address, and they didn't even ask for one, so when I get emails from ANY bank (including those in countries I don't even live in), I send them to spam and kill them forever.
The same goes for those "you have a secret relative who left you 2 billion dollars" or "I'm a diplomat who needs your help" emails, or Paypal (which I only ever go to through a bookmark), online stores, ebay, and just about every other site which tells me I have purchased something, owe money, or have won a lottery.
It bugs me because people are still falling for this crap, or the emails wouldn't still be being sent out. Send them to spam. If you don't, you're a bloody idiot.
