[QUOTE="Beholder, post: 234469, member: 14640"] Got a shady letter in my mailbox claiming to be from my bank and promising quick money if I followed an obfuscated link and gave them my bank account number. Of course I laughed at the stupid scam and reported it to my bank instead of using the fishy QR code, because the bank already had my bank account number, and always told us never to give out details or log in when someone demands it. To my surprise, the bank told me that the letter was real and they really did send out letters asking for our account details. I spent a long time explaining to them that the person getting the letter cannot know if it is from the bank or a scammer, but they never understood how that was a security problem, because they "know that they are the real bank". Eventually I had to give up explaining it to them. This is how naive Swedish banks are. :oops: No wonder they get hacked by Russia all the time.
