GTBank GeNS Notification SCAM!
I have been receiving emails from gens@gtbank.com which claims to be coming from Guaranty Trust Bank, Nigeria (GTBank). But my little deep look into the mail show’s that its a mere mail mounting sent from “oak.njit.edu” (mail server).
A layman may thought the email is real, since its coming from @gtbank.com which is the bank’s official site address. (Well its not so.)
The email I quote:
SUBJECT: GTBank Public Announcement.
MESSAGE: We regret to inform you that access to your GTBank Online Account and Atm Cards has been temporarily limited.
This has been done due to several failed log-in attempts.
To restore your account please log in correctly here:
http://ooowhy-not.ru/language/gtbaccount.html
If you fail to log in correctly your account will be suspended for fraud prevention.
You will be able to register again for GTBank Online Account only after you authenticate your profile.
We apologize for the inconvenience, this measure was taken for your protection.

I received the above email over seven times within the weeks.
Avoiding such scam emails is easy, you should always be cautious of the provided link and the mail sending sever. See the link above, its on http://ooowhy-not.ru/ which is not a GTBank website but scammer’s.
If it was to be a GTBank email, it will take you to http://gtbank.com and you can confirm that from your browser address bar even after you click the link.
On a better note, you should first contact the bank before you fill any form online. Call your accountant or walking to the bank to confirm if they surely needed your information.
Be careful of scammers, they sometimes get stupid enough to confuse you.

hmh, Ahmad, that is how they are, Thank God that u realised.
Thank your stars you ain’t that naive. Your life savings would have been washed down the drain.
P.S: I strongly suggest you get WP-Spam Free. Your captcha is too small and most people don’t like commenting on blogs that use captcha.
@Udegbunam Chukwudi: Yeah thanx
I’d have to see through that, I get so many spam comments. That’s why I set in the captcha. What’s the level of security to WP-SpamFree?
I’m not sure what you mean by level of security but the plug-in works like a charm without annoying my readers. I even have the option of blacklisting certain ips with a single click.
I’ll send you my configuration settings as soon as I can.
