TODAY’S EMAIL SCAM – COMPLETE A BANK SURVEY, WIN $100, JUST GIVE US YOU BANK ACCOUNT AND PIN (OUR SERVER IS SECURE BUT IT’S IN ROMANIA)

Today's email scam had everyone here at KnightsBridge Castle shaking our heads.

We were notified by a prominent regional credit union that as good customers they wanted us to fill out a satisfaction survey and in return we would be paid $100. The logo of the website we were directed to looked very good and the page was well designed. Upon completion of the survey the survey company asked which bank account we wished to have our $100 deposited into. We need only supply the bank account number and pin!

We traced the server to a location in Romania.

The federal credit union has posted prominently upon its own website a warning about this scam. Unfortunately a few victims will respond and not go directly to the credit union site for confirmation. The take the easy way, clicking on the email link, and they land right in the lap of a Romanian crime group.
