Phishing Scam Alert...


I received this phishing scam today in my email wanting information about a Chase Bank Account. You can see in the email, that they've cleverly given a false URL link in the body of the email, with a different URL forward.

The thing that I don't understand about this is...if these scammers took the time to do this scam, why couldn't they have taken the extra step and made the false URL an HTTPS call instead of an HTTP call? Right away that is a dead give away, since nothing done in the banking world is ever done on an unsecure channel.

You can see that the URL forward goes to a website in Czech...stupid scammers! Be on alert if you receive any emails like the above in your inbox!!!

"Hello kids - this is Ozzy Osbourne here to say remember not to drink and drive."

I use to come in here to get a laugh ... or a cringe ... Where's the bottle fly posts? Where's the obnoxious contemplation? Where's the gleeful mischief? I say to you - C'mon!
