@apex – I know. That’s why this one caught my eye. BECAUSE IT WAS FROM MY BANK!!!

@Mike – Yeah, I should probably print out this post and give it to my relatives. I just with the faux website was still up so I could dissect that too. Would’ve made for a more interesting post.

@mike – I probably need to print out this article and give a copy to all my relatives. I just wish the faux site was still up so I could dissect that too. Would’ve made the post a bit more interesting.

Unfortunately some people still get snagged by these scams, so it never hurts to alert your readers

The last time I received a BOA e-mail the link pointed to some website in Sweden.

Yeah, same here. That’s why when it came from a bank I have an account in, I had to take a pause for the cause.

I get these all the time, from hundred’s of different banks. Not one from my actual bank though (fake or real).
