Hi everyone.
Well, it looks like they have started again, Phishing scam emails purporting to be from your bank but really from scammers trying to get your information so they can drain your accounts dry.
Please do not be fooled by these emails, your bank knows who you are & will always address you by name, they will never ask you for any information so please do as i am doing and send these emails to the FBI at.

Below is the somewhat convincing email.

Be specially careful with this type od email, there are a great amount of hyperlinks on the actuall email itself, hopefully none of them will be 'live' here.
They all take you to spoof sites which will try to get your information, they also contain nasty virus's, so DO NOT CLICK anything in these type of emails.
Your Security Friend in Las Vegas.
