WARNING - Beware of Fake O2 Support Emails

[Anonymous]

I maintain the email filtering software at my place of work and noticed a number of emails supposedly from O2 Customer Care had been blocked. On checking the emails I noticed that they are indeed fake and by clicking on the link in the email and entering your details, you will give someone else access to your account.

Anyway, the email:

Althought the email appears to come from "shops.usero2@o2.co.uk" it is actually from "nobody@server64.nt100.datacenter.ni.net.tr".

If you click on the link in the email, it takes you to a malicious website (edited out link) which will ask you to enter your O2 username and password. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK!

The easy way to protect yourself from phishing emails like this is to remember the following:

• If you do not know the sender of an unsolicited email message, delete it
   
• Never respond to any spam messages or click on any links in the message

• Companies like O2 will never ask you click on a link to then enter your username and password

 I hope this helps protect someone! But it could also be why we may have seen an increase in hacked O2 accounts...

This is nothing to do with the thread here, please keep to one thread otherwise nobody can follow any problem you might have.
