Endless SCAM Emails Supposedly from Interswitch

We hope everyone knows by now that the series of emails that have been bombarding our SPAM folders, and once a while sneak into our inboxes is not from INTERSWITCH, but from jobless youths that believe the way to make it in life is to make others sad.

NEVER EVER click on a link in an email supposedly from your bank or financial services provider, asking to verify your details. No bank does that. If it is necessary, you will be asked to come in person to the bank. You are not to disclose your pin to anyone, including your banking officer (or your priest!). You are the only one that is supposed to know

Here is a sample.
