I am trying to sell something online and I received an email from tescobankofficial@gmail.com to send the package and send the receipt to this email.
I think it's a scam. I just want to confirm.

Hey @ricardodias, thanks for bringing this to our attention. This isn’t a legitimate email from Tesco Bank. Please could you forward this to us at phishing@tescobank.com so we can investigate further? We have a guide on spotting phishing emails here: http://www.tescobank.com/security/id...o-bank-emails/ which is worth reading.

Hi @ricardodias

You are right, this is definitely a SCAM!!!!

Have a lovely New Year and stay safe, Caz @25H

How can I alert the bank or the authorities?

Hi @ricardodias

Your suspicions are correct, this is definitely a crude phishing scam and not a very good one at that.

Please forward to the Tesco Bank phishing team at phishing@tescobank.com so that they can investigate further.

Kindest regards, Chris, @CSKBrambles

I denounce this fraud, which from what I read is recurring.

This person tried to circumvent with the purchase of a mobile phone, saying that the equipment was sent and that later the bank "Tesco Bank" made the amount available to me after I sent the proof of shipment.

I happily suspected and managed to cancel the shipment in time.

​​​​​​​Hello,

I already sent it yesterday to the email you indicated.

Thank you

Oh, you're not the only one who received such messages from fake Tesco Bank. Fortunately, this one looks very bad, and I doubt that anyone involved in selling business would fall for that. However, I think that there are different kinds of methods that could prevent such frauds, and the bank must take it seriously.

As I'm personally an owner of a small business I tried to find the ways to fight fraud in order to protect both of my personal and business data. I have recently discovered the Covery project that provides various fraud prevention solutions that look pretty reliable.
