[phishing] Bank of the West phish *snicker*

Yeh, this really sounds convincing...

A bit different language than pcdebb See Profile's gem. Sorry Deb, didn't see your post or I'd have put this in your topic.

The email came from what is probably a compromised system in McClelland, CA. IP of 69.62.171.122 . DNS records are hosed.
