Phishers Get Phoney
Nick Johnson writes to mention a new twist on phishing. From the article: "The spammed message warns of a problem with a bank account and instructs the recipient to dial a phone number to resolve it. The caller is connected to a voice response system that is made to sound exactly like the bank's own system. The phone system identifies itself to the target as the financial institution and prompts them to enter account number and PIN."
Makes me think that it is still the safest option to have stupid customers do all their banking right at a teller.
There are shills on slashdot. Apparently, I'm one of them.
..do they know what bank i use? I've had emails from banks all over the world regarding my "account". The only email i havent got yet is from the bank i actually use!
To dare, is to do.
Until somebody makes a whole fake bank branch building.

WARN
THERE IS ANOTHER SYSTEM
Then they can fake accounts, fake investments, fake interest, and...hell, why don't they just open a bank?
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning

What if the Phishers send email with instructions for stupid customers to go into fake banks and do business with fake tellers?

No *wonder* she hasn't answered my letters.
No matter, I thought she was a little too aloof anyhow.
