Nevermind. I also get these spams where it has an ecard.exe attached and the email says something about how you just have to open it to read it. Holy crap they got balls!

Don't be stupid people. Banks/Companies will never send you an email to request information from you.
But you'd be surprised how many people fall for the phishing attempt. There actually are some really good emails circulating out there where even I have a hard time distinguishing if they are fake or real.

There's another that says my domain name has been transferred to another company and that I should send them a new fee for the new contract. I tell the wife that is this was true, then my ISP would have sent the email. Holy shit they don't stop!
