Santander Bank
« on: 19 Nov, 2019, 12:58:40 pm »
I bank with these people and yesterday had an email asking me to reset my online password.  I read the whole of the email address and it was obvious it wasn't from the bank.  I sent it, unopened, to my bank.  This morning I had a phone call from a friend who doesn't bank with them and she'd been sent the same email.  Watch out everyone, you may find one in your inbox.

Thanks Frankie -  even though I don't bank with Santander it's a good reminder of some of the scams going on.  And sharing this information is an excellent example of what THIS forum is, and should be,  all about.   :thumbsup:

Yep, don't trust anyone with your account details, password etc. too many people are being scammed nowadays. Sad old world we live in, this online thieves club. :huh:

Leading on from this post I notice this forum is NOT SECURE.  It is the only one among the various sites I belong to that this is the case.  Is there any way this can be changed, Admin? :rules:

What specific insecurity worries you?  We don't do internet banking on here, pay by paypal or buy anything so I can't see the risk.

Judi is correct but I've asked the tech guys at the data centre about the current http:// as opposed to https:// settings for the website.
There are some potential issues with older devices / mobile phones, but in general the certificates work fine.

Frankie, (and/or others) change from http://blahblah  to https://thearboleasforum.com and save it in your favourites instead and it will be OK.. I'll update some stuff to do it automatically server side but it'll take a little while.

It might have worked, mine looks good, please let me know if you still see "not safe" type stuff - but as a reminder, you aren't entering personal info here and shouldn't, it's a chat system, not a buying site

Cheers, glad it is now solved.

Technical said : "There was a stale IP in the server ip pool and I had to remove it for the reconfiguration to work"
yeah... lol

Technical are extremely good though, within 30 minutes they raise the support ticket, reply with a #number, check out the problem and give a solution, sometimes they need to kick something or tell me which icon to hit... gotta love the system
