And another scam

I almost fell for it. An email purporting to come from a BGS member asked for technical help. When I replied they wanted me to buy an Amazon gift card for a niece, and told me not to phone. Alarm bells!
Stupid me, I hadn’t noticed the first email didn’t use my name. I should never have replied, but at least didn’t get conned. Someone’s phishing. Don’t get caught.

I received this and phoned to check. Fortunately the member was aware and was trying to deal with the fallout.
It would be so easy to open a suspicious email and accidentally click on the wrong button – why don’t the service providers put all your junk emails into a folder that you can’t access unless you deliberately sign into it? That way if you get caught it really is down to you!
