Argos Refund Phishing Email


I received the email below supposedly from Argos

To me@

During the checking process in our database, we have found out that we owe you a refund of £270 from your Argos credit card payment. The process of getting your refund can be started by pressing the start button you see below. Start Yours sincerely, Argos Customer Support.

On checking who this email came from it certainly wasn't from Argos <noreply@saunalahti.fi>

Clicking on the link takes you to a webpage which looks like an Argos website but no links work !

Fake Argos site - on entering false email address and password you are taken to a page asking for your bank details etc.


Fake Argos site


Correct Argos site with CAPTCHA


If you are unsure whether a website is fake or not try clicking on links to see if they open another page.

Allways be wary of emails or texts with the content being as above or similar from any source especially asking for details i.e. log-in, password, bank details etc.
