Careful about even clicking on those sites. Even if you don't give real information, they could fish info from you computer.

Yep! That was enough for them to target your IP......
I don't even open those emails.

I'm sure enough people fall for it for them to continue doing it.
I always get them for BofA and WAMU. I dont bank with either.

Normally if you roll the mouse over the link you can see it isn't a bofa website addy.
Real emails from banks never ask you to login from the email and normally address you by the name your account is under, not dear customer....
fockin scammers. :mad:
