You can almost set an alarm clock by the rate at which these bank scams come along.

People tend to trust their banks; when they see an email with a bank logo included it is natural to assume the message is from your bank.

You need to check the content of the email – and if there is any doubt – delete the message.

The banks are as overwhelmed as the bank customers are over ID theft and email scams – it is a problem that is out of control and won’t get any better until internet traffic security is improved.

What is it about the mail below that tells you it is fraudulent? First banks don’t use email to advise their clients – they will call you.

Second look at the address the email came from. It wasn’t’ a bank.

It isn’t real. It is an attempt to get at your bank account.
