Another scam ?


Recommended Posts

Hi

Read this carefully. I received it today.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

We recently reviewed your account, and suspect that your Suntrust Internet Banking account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party. Â Protecting the security of your account and of the Suntrust network is our primary concern. Therefore, as a preventative measure, we have temporarily limited access to sensitive account features.

To restore your account access, please take the following steps to ensure that your account has not been compromised:

1. Login to your Suntrust Internet Banking account. In case you are not enrolled for Internet Banking, you will have to use your Social Security Number as both your Personal ID and Password and fill in all the required information, including your name and your account number.

2. Review your recent account history for any unauthorized  withdrawals or deposits, and check your account profile to make sure not changes have been made. If any unauthorized activity has taken place on your account, report this to Suntrust Bank staff immediately.

To get started, please click the link below:

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate your assistance in helping us maintain the integrity of the entire Suntrust system. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Â

Sincerely,

The Suntrust Bank Team

The scammers send these out (in millions) with the straplines of various banks (I've had several, none of them banks I have accounts with) in the hope that they will hit a few thousand people who DO have accounts, a few dozen of whom can be fooled into passing on their details. Law of averages + bean-brained stupidity = somewhat richer crook...

Note also that the email address given is not that of SunTrust! (It has now been taken down, as well.)
