Hi @clemo61,

 

You have done the right thing and contacted your bank. Thank you for raising this with us.

 

The message that you have received asking you for your details is a scam designed to attain your personal information. This is known as "phishing". TPG will never request that you send us confidential information, such as passwords or bank details, via email.

 

If you get an email like this in future requesting confidential information, such as passwords or bank details, via email. Please do not respond to the message, and delete it from your inbox.

 

Regards,

Karl

Hi, I recently had a phone call on my mobile, said they were from TPG and that my internet speed was very slow and they could fix it, I checked my speed and it was very slow so I asked how do you fix it ? A tech guy came on and straight away asked for my ID etc he said to go into your bank App etc , but fortunately, I did not , but this guy somehow knew the last four digits on mt debit card and the last two digits on my Netbank A/C that upset me a bit , but I just hung up and cancelled my cards ,got new ones and reset my passwords, you have to be very careful these days!
