Aug 8, 2016 11:55 AM in response to jbow1335by franfromnantwich,This has happened to me and i followed the link and put my password in.
I have gone through my phone and laptop to change my passwords and remove my banking details almost straightaway because it seemed weird that the page led me nowhere once id logged in (i had clicked on the report a problem button).
Thanks for the advice on here, it helped my take quick action. Do you think I will have to cancel my cards, even if i changed all the passwords straight away?
Thanks
Fran

Aug 8, 2016 12:15 PM in response to franfromnantwichby turingtest2,My guess is that if you give a third party your username and password the first thing they will try to do is change the password to that account to lock you out before trying to exploit it. If you've changed the password already then they shouldn't be able to get in, but I would contact your bank or financial institution for further advice to be on the safe side. If you've been using a common email address and password across multiple services then you need to visit each one and change the password to make sure that you, and only you, have control, and use a different password on each to reduce your risks.
