I actually have a user that clicked on it. I'm working with Symantec to diagnose and resolve. You need to educate that users about clicking on links or attachments in spam (junk email) from users that they don't know or have any relations to. This is the only way to stop the ongoing problem of users computers being infected and then turned into zombie machines or in this case , used in a phishing attempt. The problem is that the users have a (false) reason to believe that this email is from a reputable source. But most reputable sources, like banks will suspend your account so that you have to call them. Naive Internet users have to realize that a reputable company will NOT contact you about a problem, and they certainly will not do it in a insecure by sending you a email with a attachment . This is where educating naive computer users has to apply. -- Specializing in "takes downs" of phishing and advance fee scams Send your Phishing/Advance fee scams to: phish@antihotmail.com »www.phishtank.com »www.fraudwatchers.org

Maybe if there weren't so many people who don't know how to read or write there'd be less gullibility. Pathetic spelling and grammar are always dead giveaways that a message is suspect. A lot of naive internet users will miss those clues like bad spelling or poor grammar because they panic out of fear (bias) first rather then realize the obvious things which should trigger the right response, not react on impulse which then makes them fall for the bait.

garys_2k join:2004-05-07 Farmington, MI ·Future Nine Corpor.. ·Vonage	Asking people to sign into a "secure" web page is, IMHO, asking for trouble. Too easy to send a phish email that looks like that and includes a "helpful" link to their spoof site. I guess that, to me, sending the last few digits of the CC number is better than sending a likely bad web link. At least the CC number gives legitimacy as to who sent it.
