Phising Frauds

Example of Phising Fraud - As explained in previous posts in Phising frauds you receive an email similar to the below one. It seems so real that you will easily fall in trap. Be aware and alert. Do not click the link given in the mail. Always visit your bank website by typing its address YOURSELF at address bar of internet explorer. (say www.xyz.com). The links and email addresses in the message apears to be originated from xyz bank but when you click the link it takes you to fake website. In this example actual bank name is replaced by XYZ.
