I get these all the time.

As well from FNB etc.

Honestly, if people are still falling for this they deserve to be fleeced.

I get hundreds of those every month for all kinds of institutions. Gmail automatically weeds them out and puts them in my spam folder.

Not really worth making a new thread about now. If anyone doesn't know about this by now, they need a wake up call.

 

[NeonNinja]

Yes, go and verify your informations.

 

[Fudzy]

Shouldn't this be under the Security section?

 

[The_Assimilator]

I get these for every bank EXCEPT the one I actually bank with.

Everyone on earth should know that 126.370.42.86 is not a valid IP address!!

I just went and entered fake information. It is quite interesting, they actually ask you for you once time password.

Wonder how they get it sent to your phone.

 

[Kloofvreter]

Why even start a thread about this. Sigh.

 

[The_Ogre]

The IP address says it all (370)

 

[BBSA]

Why is this news?

I just went and entered fake information. It is quite interesting, they actually ask you for you once time password.

Wonder how they get it sent to your phone.

They type in the details as it's sent to them,then use the OTP you type in
