419 Scam of the Day [Email Scams, Phishing, etc.]

SBB wants to pay me money back. How sweet of them considering I’ve not used their services in at least a decade:
originally in German:

“We would like to inform you that you have been billed twice.You will be asked to complete a refund form on our website.
The amount will be transferred to your credit card within 24 hours after submission of your request.
You can get your money back easily, quickly and safely right here by clicking below.

There is a warrant out for my arrest. At least that what the guy said on the phone. Irregularities with my Swiss ID. I hung up . And they called 1 hour later. In both cases a recorded message.

Is that why your cat went in disguise?

Right on. :grinning_face:

Most of the ones I get these days come through like this so I don’t even know what they’re about. :joy:

They called again today. I did not take the call.

I got to see the text today! Not that it meant anything. :zany_face:

This one sent from [email protected]. I am a Swica customer.

scary…is it because they tapped into some of your email exchanges, they can read the apps on the phone, or there has been a hacking of data from swica, unreported?

The footer address (which wouldn’t fit) is from a different branch of Swica than mine. I suspect it’s a mass phishing attempt and I just happen to be a customer.

I get these from companies I have nothing to do with too…

The text in that email doesn’t even make sense.

Let’s see if I get one too as I’m with swica. Wonder if swica knows this is happening?

Another scam. Translated.
