But you know that there are at least 5 idiots that are going to fall for that, right?

I highly doubt that. We have WAAAAY more gullible people on the internet than you assume haha. That number will be much higher

Yeah, I was going to say: add a few zeros and you would be about right.

I've gotten at least 10 emails like that so far, from all manner of banks (none of which I'm a customer at). Sucks that people out there are willing to prey on stupid people like that.

I'm sure someone said the same thing about the 419 scam. ;)

I got one from chase about suspicious activity on my account, please go login and change my password.

The link in the email looked legit. Only problem is that it was an HTML email and the displayed link was NOT what you got when you clicked it.

You can often see this by hovering your mouse over a link to verify that WYSIWYG
