    Could someone please explain why these thieving barstewards who pretend that they are from your bank, asking for you to change your security information cant be caught and stopped.

    If I wanted to catch a rat I would set a trap and catch it... why cant the banks do the same..ie setup a dummy account pass the details on to these con men and follow the transaction. Hey presto you have the vermin caught.

    I am now getting about 10 emails per week telling me I have a loved one in Africa who loves me and wants to give me $4000000000000000000000000 . or from banks that I didnt even know existed asking me to change my password.....

    I just dont understand why they cant be caught and stopped...........


    Rant over...:mad:

    When I get a bank details request from a scammer, I just go onto the fake site and put a load of ****** in and submit. Waste the turds time in checking out your passwords etc.
