SCAM???

If you receive such message, try to move your mouse over the link in the message. You will see that the link is pointing to an address totally different from the link in the message. On clicking the “https://gtbank.com/newyearpromo ” in the message above, I was redirected to “ gtbankpromo.owellware.net/1st.html ” Imagine that!

Besides, my Mozilla Firefox browser alerted me that the page has been reported as a forgery.

Please, DO NOT FALL FOR THE SCAM. Kindly share this with your friends.

Surf the Internet carefully.
