Received a dire warning from my bank today...

Only, the link actually points to "makingalife.net" ? :rolleyes:

This email was sent to me via an address that I made purely to order online from LaSenza for the mrs! The address has been used for nothing else and I always opt out of any "can we pass on your details" things...

So, what should I do, contact LaSenza to moan?

G-MAN2004 · 25 Feb 2008 at 18:25

I wouldn't trust it.

uknowist · 25 Feb 2008 at 18:26

Its just a scam, just delete it

ErNciLator · 25 Feb 2008 at 18:28

"P. R. Crush"

lol ?

I think you've missed his question

Demand some free underwear from them for passing on your details

Still might just be random spam though, and have had nothing to with La Senza...

Contact LaSenza and try and get some fancy pants

phishing, more likely than not it is random spam, although.. was the card you used on lasenza a RBS one? If so you should go to them and inform the police or something.

Muban · 25 Feb 2008 at 19:24

It will be just random more than likely. I see emails stuck in our spam filter every day, loads of them for addresses that don't exist just with the right domain at the end.

In fact I have got one @hotmail.co.uk address that has never been registered anywhere or used for anything and it gets hundreds of spam emails a week.

Rebelius · 25 Feb 2008 at 19:27

really? I could just make a random free webmail account and never use it for anything and it'd still get spam?

that's amazing.

peetee · 25 Feb 2008 at 20:32

yup, spam gets sent to every character combination of addresses that is possibly really, some of it gets through filters and thats usually the case. Its just if the OP is RBS it could point towards a security breach.

DB_SamX · 25 Feb 2008 at 20:56

Thread title should be Phishing really. I frowned at La Senza and Fishing in the same phrase.

Slam62 · 25 Feb 2008 at 20:59

did you catch anything

Vonhelmet · 25 Feb 2008 at 21:01

I have a domain and occasionally get e-mail sent to all kinds of non-existent accounts, as well as to the accounts that actually do exist.

Helium_Junkie · 25 Feb 2008 at 21:34

Demanding free knickers is a great plan!

I'll try that. Wish me luck!

HeadlessChicken · 25 Feb 2008 at 22:27

Make a few orders with them and nothing my end. Looks like a lucky email guess? :confused:
