My sister has just been sent this

I’ve told her always to log into your main account through the correct address, not something like this:

https://authenticate-payee.app/Login.php

https :// authenticate-payee.app/Login . php

That’s what she was sent in a msg - goes to this:

Who should spam like this be reported to, if anyone?

This is for emails, but I’ve sent them URLs from SMS messages in the past:

https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/report-suspicious-emails

(I’ve never had a reply, but I assume something happens in the background).

sadly I wouldn’t bother… I’ve reported dozens of these to Namecheap they don’t do anything about it

I’ve reported something similar to Barclays previously via email using:

internetsecurity@barclays.com

This address is also listed here: What do I do if fraud affects something other than my card or account? | Barclays

I always figure it can’t do any harm informing who’s been impersonated so they can build up their intelligence and pursue themselves if they so choose.

Thanks everyone, I’ve forwarded your replies on to her. Fingers crossed nothing has actually happened.
