Friends,

Just received an email claiming to be from a friend and inviting me to view a document from their account in Microsoft’s One Drive.

BEWARE: THIS IS A SCAM

If you click on the link, you will be taken to a bogus website which will collect your One Drive login id and password - called 'phisihing'.

It looks very legitimate until you check the link and discover that it is not https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-gb. Here is some info on this phishing scam: https://www.hoax-slayer.net/bogus-view-in-onedrive-emails-link-to-phishing-website

Not sure if a link to a site you have to login into is legitimate? DO NOT use the link in the email, but rather login using your normal method. Do online banking? NEVER login from a link, even if if it looks like an email from your bank.

Be safe online,

Gordon
