Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OFF TOPIC -EBAY and NOTICE THAT YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE SUSPENDED
One of the oldest phising schemes on the web. Must get 10 or more each
day that are similar, even from institutions I don't do business with.
Funny one was SunTrust yesterday. In the morning one came in asking me
to verify my account information, I don't have one. At noon time a
second one came in saying that they might have to suspend my access if I
did not comply. Then 2 hours later a another arrived saying my access
was suspended & that the only way I could get back in was via the
attached link to somewhere (http:\\218.12.122.5). They even stated that
"customer assistance cannot help you" and that you'd have to wait 72
hours after completing their form to get back in.
Yup, the Grinch and/or Ebenezer Scrooge is alive & well. Worst part is that a lot of folks fall for these.
