EMAIL Hell - More Chase Bank Phishing Spam

by Ferdinand T Cat

I think what bothers me most about the new wave of phishing EMAILs is the utter gall of the people behind them. Here's how the most recent one introduces itself.

Dear Card Member,

Due to the recent phishing attacks and attempted identity theft associated with them, we have decided to verify identity of our members. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but we feel that is a necessary precaution to protect our members personal identity information.

You are then given a link to a web site where they will ask you to type in all the information they need to steal your identity.

I understand that there will always be unscrupulous people who use technology to steal from others, but it seems to me they don't have to be quite so brazen about it.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat
