So , week after week , we ’ re seeing new scams or new variations on old scams . The past weeks were no exception . '' One such email that was sent out Attack.Phishing this week was targeted at Tesco Bank customers - the elaborate letter pretended to have come from Attack.Phishing the Tesco Bank credit card team . It reads : “ We ’ ve been trying to contact you about your account , but we 've been unable to reach you . Your account has been restricted .
