Another Phishing attempt

[mother]

It amazes me that somewhere someone will keep trying... I suppose because there's always the odd chance that someone may actually fall for these!

I will admit, this is one of the more creative ones I've received to date, except for that very obvious "your account will be suspended until..." paragraph at the end.

Mother, to help to get rid of these phishing and spam, download Spaminhilator at www.spamihilator.com/. This is a free program and actually works very well. Just give it a try !

Had a client yesterday who showed me an e-mail from Telkom. It said they had to change or verify their details otherwise their service would be suspended.

At the bottom of the e-mail was the suffix @ymail.com

Client was truly concerned that their service would be suspended and wanted to actually reply, but luckily asked me first.

I get ABSA e-mail's, I think I got Std. Bank once too. The sad part is, there are people that actually DO fall for these scams.
