Alliance & Leicester Confirmation Form Scam Email

Alliance and Leicester Scam

I received no less than 108 scam emails, to numerous addresses, supposed to be from Alliance & Leicester today, supposedly being sent from noreply@alliance-leicester.co.uk. They do not come from the Alliance and Leicester, they are scammers, out to get you to part with your online bank account details. Don’t be caught out!

The emails had various subject headings:

  • Security Maintenance
  • Alliance & Leicester customer service: official update
  • Alliance & Leicester security upgrade Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:12:32 +0700
  • Alliance & Leicester customer service informs you <message id: 5349527097> 
  • Instructions for Alliance & Leicester customer [message id: 8247787496]
  • Alliance & Leicester customer service: notification (message ref: 6220753298)
  • new security measures
  • Alliance & Leicester online form (message ref: 2912105542)
  • important banking mail (message ref: 8744582716)
  • security alert 
  • Alliance & Leicester customer service: instructions for customer

There are dozens more, but I don’t have the time to type them all out.

This is the scam email contents:

Is it addressed to your name and your email address and do you have an account with them, if so call them and ask. However, I don’t think that Alliance and leicester would ask you to reply to a gmail address, do you? BM

still received few days ago, they use my name (easy figure out from email ID) but some misspellings are there plus their “domain” (?) is “aliance+….” - one “L”, that is.

kirk Says:

here is the text, though, sorry:

This e-mail has been sent to you by Alliance & Leicester to inform you that we were unable to verify your account details. This might be due to either of the following reasons:

1. A recent change in your personal information. (eg: address, phone)
2. Submitting incorrect information during register process.

Our technical service department has recently discovered that your information on file with us is incomplete.

Please confirm your account informatin on our secured server below :

Brother Scamback Says:

I got an email from Alliance & Leicaster. I recognized the bullshit right away. So I offered to send them the processing fee via the U.S Postal Service. I packed an envelope of my dog’s shit and send it to them. The next email that I received from them showed who they really are. They responded with threats of taking revenge and how many of my brothers and sisters they have already scammed. I didn’t care because I already had my laughs and I laughed more with their treats.
I’m glad you got something out of wasting your time sending them your gift. That’s a couple of hours out of your life that you’ll never get back and do you think they really care? They’ll just move on to the next mug that falls for their scam. If you get these emails, just delete and forget, life is too short to be even giving these people a secon’d s thought.

Thanks for the tip you saved me a lot of time trying to track this down myself.

Maximilain Bluecrow Says:

Is there a way to avoid any more emails from them? Change your email address to a completely new one and don’t use it to sign for anything on the web.
