I, Rebekah, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “businessescalations@fnb.co.za”:
It looks like an account was opened on Dec 13, 2016 and I continue to recieve emails.
I have also have deals of the day emails that I just unsubscribed from.
I have never applied for an account with FNB. I have never had an account with FNB. Someone has stolen my email address and set up a fraudulent account with it.
Please remove this and stop sending me emails. Thanks!
