I think this might be a scam....?

[brianPT]

Earlier this afternoon I got the following email from the address:

MySwisscom Notification <xyz@abc.ch>

I clicked on the link and at the time it looked like a genuine Swisscom login screen. A bit later they wanted my credit card details to reimburse me. I entered them and a few screens after that I got an SMS suggesting I enter a 6 digit validation so that my credit card company could SEND Euros 700 to "OPH SEINE ET MARNE" - whoever they may be. Needless to say I didn't enter the 6 digit code. My credit card company have not sent any money. You have to be careful, eh?

@brianPT This is a scam mail, Swisscom would never send such a mail, even if you had paid twice, this would then be offset against the next bill. You should simply not click on a link here! You can report such mails to spamreport@bluewin.ch, then delete the mail and forget about it. It was a obviously a fault to click on the link, you should have been better asked before. But if your bank did not transfer the money. 

Please delete the link in your message, not that that anybody else will click on it.

OK, thanks, just thought I'd mention it so others, if they see this sort of message, can be suspicious immediately.

@brianPT Actually this should be already well known, but unfortunately that is not case, in the different communities (D, F, I, E) we find approx. every week somebody who ist reporting, and of course to ok report this here. A little advice, if you drag the mouse over the link, the actual link is displayed and it is completely different in this case, so you can see relatively quickly that this cannot be from Swisscom.

Yes, I was a bit stressed earlier and exceptionally only a few days ago there was some confusion as to what I had paid on the two contracts we have with Swisscom. The scammers just happened to chose the moment I was most vulnerable. I'm really not sure what details I entered on their screens so to be safe I've blocked that credit card and ordered a new one. CHF 20 for the peace of mind, it's worth it for me.
