QNB phishing email

baedaebok's picture

Public Service Announcement : If you get this e-mail please do not click on the link or answer the e-mail. It is a scam!

Has anyone else received this email from someone who claims to be QNB?  I am an account-holder with this bank.  I did email QNB at ccsupport@qnb.com.qa to notify them of this email.

Bakamuna, Good question about how the sender of this phishing email got our names.  I'm a QNB customer but don't use Eazybanking.  I have virtually no money in my QNB account as my salary goes to my Canadian bank account.  So I should have NOT appeared on the radar screen of these phishing organizations/individuals (?).  I should be a moving target.

 

Now, of course, whoever reads this will know that I am a QNB account-holder.  QL posts frequently pop up in Google Searches (QL must have good mega-tags or other technologies to make it appear on Google searches frequently.  How might it do this?  As a result, I wonder if my admission of being a QNB account-holder can easily be traced through a Google search and so I'll be receiving phishing PMs from "QNB"?

baedaebok said Hotmail phishing ...

They haven't replied back yet.  But it's only been 12 hours.  I wonder if they ever read it.  Oh yeah, I'm attracting phishing like bees to honey.  Did anyone get this beauty on their Hotmail account.  I clicked Feedback and emailed Hotmail this phishing.

JazzKat, I figured QNB wouldn't do that.  They are targetting anybody who posts on QL, I guess.

You know, when these phishers learn to spell and a few basics of grammar they will be a whole lot more effective; until then they seem pretty easy to spot-luckily for now.
