Constant Spam Emails

    Hi guys,

    I am receiving in excess 3-4 spam/phising emails a day now, claiming to be from BOI 365.. saying my account has been suspended and i must follow a link to re-activate it. Obviously i am not going to do that.

    This has been on going for about 2 weeks now, and i send the mails to 365security@boi.com but have not got a response, and the mails keep coming in.

    each time i receive an email, i block the sender, and add the sender to my junk email list, but each time a new mail arrives in, it comes right back into my inbox.

    it's getting a little frustrating, and i am hoping BOI are looking into it.

    thanks in advance

    Robert

    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]Hi RobertHopkins, [/font]


    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]Thank you for contacting us here on Boards.ie. [/font]


    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]We can understand your frustration with regard to the constant receipt of phishing emails. Although Bank of Ireland are unable to prevent the receipt of these emails, please be assured that our dedicated IT Security Department investigate all emails received through the [/font][font=Verdana, sans-serif]365security@boi.com[/font][font=Verdana, sans-serif] address.[/font]


    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]As socco correctly mentioned, fraudsters target many people’s emails, not just Bank of Ireland customers, in the hope that they can attain personal information. Rest assured, we would never send emails or text messages requesting customers to confirm any account or password information.[/font]


    [font=Verdana, sans-serif]We would like to thank you for your vigilance and we appreciate you taking the time to post today.[/font]
