    Hi Guys

    I know most us on here are pretty savvy with things like this, but we all have friends, partners, parents etc that would easily fall for this nasty little email........

    Here is how it looks when you open it up...

    In the password box you can type anything you like to proceed to the next page......

    From here on in you are asked for all your details and bank information :jawdrop:

    to be fair I think most people would hopefully pick up on the badly worded email as words are missing.

    e.g. 'failure review your profile' which should of course read failure to review your profile.

    also

    e.g. ' a one time a verification'

    I've always told told any relatives that would be at risk of this sort of email to read it to themselves out loud. If they stumble over any of the words because of how the sentence is constructed then ignore the email.
