Phishing

Warning: For those of you not aware of the latest security threats in cyberspace, there is a new threat going around called "Phishing".

Basically Phishing is a fake email that looks like it comes from your bank. They trick you into putting in your bank information on a website then use the information to electronically take all your money. It's a major problem right now.

I received my 1st Phishing email today. Here is a copy of it in case you wanted to see what it looks like. It looks very real. I have forwarded it onto the fraud division at citibank to investigate.
