What is this???

[DURHAM D]

I see that I have an email from -

American - Express @ eaxo 01
Subject: "online banking verification"

I do not and never have had American Express card.


I have not opened it. What should I make of it?

1. Don't open it. Malicious

[leftieNanner]

2. Phishing? Spam? Nigerian Prince?

One of the above. Either report it as spam or delete post haste.

3. Sounds like a scam to get Amex customers to

enter their information into a fake site

4. SCAM! DO NOT OPEN!

5. Scam. Delete it.

They want your bank account number.

Good pick up.

When you notice something wrong in the from field that is the key.

There was no .com or .org in the address. The space - was also a clue, major companies have americanexpress, chasebank, etc. Scammers try to get something close to confuse users.

American - Express @ eaxo 01

Finally, I HATE THESE PEOPLE!!!

6. Bad!

Do not trust any emails that you get about important accounts and don't even open them.

Some people get hundreds of phone spam and phising emails that appear to be valid contacts from companies and banks.

If you think an email MIGHT be from a bona fide account, look their email address up at their official site and email them or call.
