hahahhaaahaha I got one of those Phish scams in my junk mail folder. It said something like they were sending me a notification for a deposit to my Citibank account and I can verify this transaction at the website. The site was soo close to the real citibank page in both looks and URL. What tipped me off was the fact that I DON"T BANK WITH THEM. lol. Professional looking web layout for a fake page though.

I got a particular (amongst many) phish attempt this week. For PayPal. (I'm not on PayPal and have no inclination ever to get an account there.)

The plaintext part contains a link to the real PayPal site (path /fraudcheck/secure/bill.html?sl=070304), the HTML part contains what looks like the same link, but is actually to a different server, with the path /zero/scampage/. Well, at least that part is honest...
