Hey Raindrops... do you know how to edit your original post? Maybe you should change your thread title to something like "Viking Employee Scam" or something to get the attention of a Viking so they can get on top of this. I'm sure they could get this clown shut down faster than we could...

Push the report this post button and mention that you got this and ask if it is from BigV. That might get an answer soon.

I don't think BVG uses Outlooks express and since that person is asking you to link to that address, it looks like a scam to me.

Change your passwords where necessary. Good luck, hope nothing compromises your account and items!

Yes, you will not get in trouble. YOU need their attention. If you don't want to do that = change the title to Vikings help.

I believe BVG will have an @BVG email address and not an @outlook one. Outlook can be used by anyone and that would be too risky to use @outlook.. Most companies have their own email address setup by their own team.

To keep your account secure, make sure you have your privacy settings set high. Do this by only allowing either friends or friends of friends to contact you and see everything you post. Also, a lot like YoPass, Facebook have a system that makes you input a code every time you log in using a new computer/unrecognised browser. But if you use this, make sure to take a picture of the codes on your phone so you have them everywhere you go. You can also receive emails/text messages when someone logs into an unrecognised device/browser. :mrgreen:
