    Except my parents just got exactly this kind of dodgy email with those masqueraded domain names ultimately going back to customerminds.com...asking them to scan their passports and upload it to a dodgy looking "upload service".

    The email said they need to do it to comply with EU law. 

    Passport is most certainly "personal details".

    Links in the email were to pages navigable to live365 login.

    Idiotic.

    Hi There,

    Thanks for getting in touch with us. We would never send any emails or text messages requesting account or Login details from our customers. We are issuing this request by email and letters as some customers prefer to receive correspondence by email. If you are ever in doubt about any email you have received we would ask that you send it to 365security@boi.com and one of our advisors would be happy to confirm if this is legitimate or not. For more information as to how to stay safe online and what to look our for please see the link attached in our original post.

    Thanks Jen
