Eir Cashback Scam

    Hi folks,

    I wasn't sure where to add this so please move it if required.

    I just got an email today from eircashback@sweete.ie to say thanks for choosing an eir package and here is €50 cash back..

    It then states to go to www.eircashback.com and enter your unique code in the email and fill in your details and bank details and they'll send you the €50 to spend it on whatever you want, sounds great..

    Anyway, checked with Eir and they sent no such email..

    So, just a heads up to anyone else, don't click anything..

    Not sure where they got the details from that I'd signed up to an eir package...

    ## Edit ##

    I just spotted this in another eir thread:

    http://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057567390/1/#post102729109

    I'm thinking it's not a scam now, what was eir chat talking about??

    Coincidence probably. If they send out enough of them they'll get someone who has signed up. I had the same where I bought something off an online retailer and 2 days later got an email purporting to be from them with a link to my "invoice" from that same retailer that turned out to be a Google ID phishing scam. Again, just coincidence.
