When I got this I was sure it was a scam since I don't have an account there, but if a person did, I could see how they might fall for it. Since I knew it was a scam, I just gave them all the personal info I had on this one dude that I don't like.

ReplyDeleteI got several of those and wondered if there really was a 5th 3rd bank? I mean, why not 12th, 6th bank? Just seems phishy to me.
ReplyDeleteI never click on links like that, I go directly to my bank's site.
But I like the way you handled this one.
