This from a collogue in Illinois comes as an email.

     This official looking e-mail warns that there has been a violation of your bank account, and that you should log onto the link to review the problem and restore our access to the account.
     The real problem is that the link takes you to a site that LOOKS LIKE your bank's and asks you to enter your account number and password to confirm your identity.  This gives the thieves everything they need to access your account for real.
     NEVER click a link... Type in your bank's address manually or call your bank and ask them directly about this.
     A couple of tip-off's were:

  1. I'd read about it happening.
  2. The subject line says Review your (Bank name) "Informations"
  3. Appreciate was misspelled as "apriciate".
  4. There was no reference to an account number.
  5. There were no telephone contact numbers.
  6. The Bank confirmed that this is a "Phishing" scam that you have heard so much about.

Beware!
