According to this email, which has the subject line ‘Tesco Bank Changes to Interest rate’, you can view the latest interest rate news and changes from Tesco Bank by opening an attached file. However, the email is not from Tesco Bank. It is a phishing scam designed to steal your account login details.
Opening the attachment in the scam email loads a fraudulent webpage in your default browser. The webpage, which includes the Tesco Bank logo, advises you to click a login link to visit your online banking service to view recent changes to your account.
The link leads to a bogus website that has been built to closely mirror the genuine Tesco website. Once on the fake website, you will be asked to provide your username, security number, and password.
As with Tesco Bank’s real login procedure, the page claims that a text message with your access code has been sent to your designated mobile phone. However, since the scammers do not have your mobile phone number, no text message will arrive.
