I, Lloyd, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “no-reply@wonga.co.za”:
This has got to be a phishing attempt to defraud me – As far as I am aware Wonga is an ONLINE credit provider and I see this latest fraud attempt as a clever way on the part of a criminal to capitalise on all the marketing currently being done by Wonga.
You have been warned.
