Popular Post Crossy Posted May 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2022 A couple of friends have received emails purportedly from Wise:- All the hallmarks of a fake, not personally addressed, embedded link, etc. etc. the "Login" link goes to "wIseuk" (yes, that's a lower case L). Despite all the warnings people still follow these links and get screwed, so another warning can never hurt. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I got these as well, but I have a very unique email address for my Wise account (and all others as well) and they (the spammers) are sending it to the wrong one https://simplelogin.io/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Usually the easiest way to spot these is clicking on the senders email address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bbko Posted May 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2022 What’s the difference between a legitimate Wise email and a fake one? Wise always addresses you by the first name you entered on our website If we ask you to follow a link in an email, you’ll always be directed to a website which starts with https://wise.com Double check the spelling of this website — scammers will sometimes change one letter so the address looks very similar If you think you’ve received a phishing email from somebody pretending to be Wise, get in touch — we’re happy to help. https://wise.com/help/articles/2932695/watch-out-for-phishing 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the clue was in their e-mail address [email protected] and Hello , Why you need a new password? Your Password Being Compromised, Stolen In A Data Breach. Wise recommends changing your password Get a new password Your current password will still work. Thanks, The Wise Team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
