Another E-Mail Scam

The latest scam is an e-mail that is allegedly from FDIC, informing you that because of a violation of the Patriot act, your bank account may lose its insurance. If you get such an e-mail, toss it in the trash. Do not give out your bank account information to the website indicated in the e-mail.

Never give out personal information to someone who sends you an e-mail.

By the way, because of an unfixed flaw in Microsoft Internet Explorer, this e-mail looks like it sends you to the actual FDIC site, when in fact you are being sent to a server in Pakistan. Yet another reason to stop using IE as your browser. Use Mozilla instead.
