★ Purge Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 That is actually a valid email address for Bank of America... interesting. It may not even be a scam.
rootbear75 Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) it has all of the properties of a scam.... and im not basing my decision on that popup... there is NO NEED for fathers first name and last name, social, pin number, card number, etc... they WILL NOT ask you for that over the internet oh, and FYI: You father does NOT have a maiden name... i highly doubt the bank would ask that Edited May 11, 2008 by rootbear75 http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t54/badgersocks/FHTG/FHTG%20-%20redone%20shizniz/tgmember11.pngrootbear75> here is me nude <spoiler tag: Pervert... how many of you actually clicked this?>Samapico> I actually clicked the spoiler before reading what it was Corey> I clicked it cause i read what sama said first. darkreb0rn> I clicked it because I wanted to see you naked... rootbear75> O.o __________________________________2:IdleRPG> Mr Snuffleluphagus walked face-first into a tree.

★ Purge Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 Oh, I didn't see the address on that page before. Yeah, scam.
Aceflyer Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 The spelling and capitalization errors in the email sorta gave it away.
★ Blocks Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 That is actually a valid email address for Bank of America... interesting. It may not even be a scam.It's quite easy to make an email appear like it was sent from someone else. I believe this is known as spoofing.

★ Dav Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 I had several, they make the e-mail appear to come from thye correct domain now, I had one from what looked like a real bank address yesterday, correct domain name and everything else. If you however the hyper link its always something else though. If i suspect an e-mail from anything to potentially be real I go login to the correct website to check messages there rather then use the provided link. SSCC Desert Storm OwnerSSforum Admin
★ CypherJF Posted May 11, 2008 Report Posted May 11, 2008 It's a typical phishing technique; they create a website layout similar to a bank, and even the URL could be very close/misleading. It's a type of social engineering tactic. Owner/Operator of Omega Fire

Suicide_Run Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 It is quite sad that people actually fall for this. I sometime get these fake emails saying they are from pay pal. If you use hotmail, they sometimes filter it or say this might be a potential phishing email. The Ladder Theory - How high are you on the ladder? http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/1228/unseeov9.gif
FMBI Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 What I don't get is why they'd go through SK - even !@#$%^&*uming the person was really from there, they could bump it through China. That way, if they get caught, it just gets blamed on those nasty deficit-building Chinese and nobody bothers to investigate. BTW, am I a weirdo for actually enjoying scam E-Mails? I've always giggled my way through them, savoring every "your gonna be rich, workk at home" I could get my hands on. And don't even get me started on the "119via8gra for y9u" type.

You must not get many of them then. Because rather soon the 1,000,000th spam email gets really annoying.
FMBI Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 I get 25 a week on an e-mail I haven't used in 4 years, 10 a week on my current one, and I dunno how many on my sometimes accounts.
