real or scam?

[Anonymous]

I got this today but I'm not sure about it. Pic below is the email I recieved.

The link on the email ends up being: ####

Looks like a fishing site to me. The grammar is terrible on that email as well.

Looks like the outsourced Indian contractor has been at it again :mansurprised: 😮

It's not for real, but I wouldn't click any link in an email anyway, and neither should a company expect it's users to. :womanindifferent:
That email is a disgrace!
The link appears to be an image overlaid on the genuine site and the links forward to the O2 site.

perksie, what makes you think it's real?
the URL for the site is this
####
'Stingers'??? that is what alerted me. i nearly logged into it, it's quite convincing!
if you delete the 'login.htm', you can browse around the files. It looks dodgy as hell. If it's legit, someone should be sacked!

Its not real. The link is wrong, the colour scheme is wrong, the English is poor etc etc

Looks like it has been reported ie8 now warns the website has been reported unsafe

[Anonymous]

so, the next question is, how did they get a list of 02 customers email addresses?

It looks like an Icelandic web site has been hacked.

All the scammers do is use a programme to generate randon email addresses ending in a known domain like @o2.co.uk etc.
Or use email address list of known email addresses that on previous attempts have not bounced back as undeliverable.
