| 770986 | 2009-05-04 10:09:00 | Anyone suggest how to handle email which arrives at my domain address but is intended for someone at another domain? The one that concerns me comes from a big bank with a warning that the sending address isn't set up to accept replies. But at the bottom of the page big bank says "If you have received it in error please immediately notify me by return email." Doh! And I guess if the intended recipient doesn't respond with 7 days they miss out on the available loan that they haven't been told about. | coldot (6847) | ||
| 770987 | 2009-05-04 11:03:00 | This sounds like a phishing scam more than anything - I'd just ignore these emails if I were you. If you're really worried, ring the bank concerned and ask them about it. |

| 770988 | 2009-05-04 11:13:00 | And ring using the number from the phone book, not the e-mail ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 770989 | 2009-05-04 12:00:00 | If you hover your mouse cursor over the inevitable links in the email message in question, you will no doubt see the link details pointing to anything BUT a real bank site. Phishing email. Delete it. | johcar (6283) | ||
| 770990 | 2009-05-04 23:15:00 | There's no doubt that it's genuine. The bank is very real and the only link is to Adobe "if you need it to read the attached PDF." And they specifically ask for response by return email. They just don't show any email address other than the noresponse address. (Phishers usually offers several email and web addresses!) I sent response to first.last@---bank.co.nz since a search of the net produced a few ---bank.co.nz addresses in that form. | coldot (6847) | ||
| 770991 | 2009-05-04 23:51:00 | It is a scam - period. | Zippity (58) | ||
| 770992 | 2009-05-05 01:05:00 | There's no doubt that it's genuine. Yes, from a genuine scammer. :rolleyes: As the others have said, just delete and forget before you get yourself burnt. |

| 770993 | 2009-05-05 01:19:00 | They just don't show any email address other than the noresponse address. And therein lies the clue. NO bank in NZ will post unsolicited material without providing a genuine return email address. |
