a friend of mine has just been conned out of R1430.00. As a user of Standard Bank Ucount Rewards program, he received a Ucount promotion email that eventually directed him to disclose his bank account number and password. the site he visited resembled a genuine Standard Bank Account. Many fake bank sites closely resemble genuine sites in an attempt to make them more convincing, but there are clear signs that they are fake. For example, any email addresses listed in the email directing you to the site, or on the site itself may be from a free email provider. The common ones used are Hotmail, Yahoo, or Mail . However, some scammers receive an email account with their fake site, so dont assume that an email address that matches the site name is safe. Real bank sites will use secure server connections (SSLs) to protect customers, so you should see https:// or s in the address window in your browser.Fakes will not have this. Stop trying to be technologically savvy . JUST DONT punch your PIN at anyones request. when do we want to LEARN, when it happens to you
