Just had this fun e-mail sent to two of my publicly accessible e-mail accounts. Yet another reason to not use HTML as the default in Outlook. <BOM> Dear Citibank Member, This email was sent by the Citibank server to verify your E-mail address. You must complete this process by clicking on the link below and entering in the small window your Citibank ATM/Debit Card number and PIN that you use on ATM. This is done for your protection - because some of our members no longer have access to their email addresses and we must verify it. To verify your E-mail address and access your bank account, click on the link below: https://web_da-us_citibank_com/signin/citifi/scripts/email_verifyjsp --------------------------------------- Thank you for using Citibank --------------------------------------- <EOM> While the URL looks authentic, a look at the source reveals the following <A HREF=> tag: http://210_169_91_178/scripts/email_verify.htm which upon lookup resolves to: sh-obp2-9-178.usr.neweb.ne.jp With any luck the standard user will be wary of such scams and notice the less-than-proper use of the English language. V/R, Steve Gracon
