Hi Everyone, I received a phishing email like this and wanted to share.
“We recently have determined that different computers have logged onto your Online Banking account, and multiple password failures were present before the logons. We now need you to re-confirm your account information to us.
If this is not completed by July 21, 2010, we will be forced to suspend your account indefinitely, as it may have been used for fraudulent purposes. We thank you for your cooperation in this manner.
To confirm your Online Banking records click on the following link:
link.fake.do.not.follow
Thank you for your patience in this matter. ”
As you can see this is easy to spot and nothing like this would ever be sent by any decent company. Always remember to NEVER follow a link sent to you via email. Even if you think it is legitimate always go to the main company site (via address bar) and navigate from there.
