Ralph has had his Vodafone business account hacked. Yesterday we recieved an email saying thanks for adding services to our account. Namely 3 more busness packages and a blackberry phones
I thought it was another junk email . as like many people we get several a day from various banks and Nigerians.
Fortunately i didn't just delete it. Ralph checked it out .
He was told that unfortunately , the whole business account would have to be closed and new numbers for the genuine phones on it issued.
"Hang on a minute ," he says "you cant do that. Its my business. The telephone number is on all my cards , advertising , vehicles etc.:Angry:"
"Its all we can do, sir , Im sorry." says the lady at Vodafone.
Anyway , eventually she saw sense , and just froze the 3 new phones that had been added.
They are looking into it ( hopefully ) as i post , and will get back to us.
I dont know how they have done it , whether it could only happen to a busness account holder or private as well , where or when.
So ..... If you get an email saying similar , dont just delete it :thumb:
