A "money laundering" scam

Another scam arrived in my email today. See text below.


Dear Customer ,
We have to update your documents to comply with Law 06/2023 on the prevention of money laundering, it will only take a few minutes.
The Customer Knowledge Form is now up to date:
It is important that you update it within a maximum period of one day. Otherwise, remember that your operations on the web and in the app are limited to inquiries, by phone you can continue operating, but your accounts will not be able to admit new income until they are updated.
Click here.
Check all your details and movements in the Wise App or in your Online Banking.
Thank you for remaining confident in us.


What are these people talking about?? What a lot of rubbish. The sender's address is a jumble of letters and numbers, ending in the word "cybercopy". It is clearly not written by native English-speakers. There is no address apart from "Customer". There is no identifying information as to the origin of this email. This is another one for the "delete" button.

Good spotting, @Jan A! It always makes me sad how these scammers never seem to run out of ideas when it comes to taking advantage of people. They should be putting this energy into something better for society.

I don’t know why we have to keep warning people!
If anyone falls for this then they deserve to be scammed!
No one could be so stupid as to click on any link!

I do NOT answer a phone call from a mobile number I do not know.
I tell people to text me (if a new number) to say tlhey are ringing...say the Bank etc.
How many times do people have to be told!!!
