I got this e-mail today:

Dear LaSalle Bank customer,

We recently noticed one or more attempts to login intro your LaSalle Bank online banking account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account was hijacked by a third party without your notification.

The login attempt was made from :

IP: 192.78.80.120
ISP Host: host26-0-2.comcast.net

IF YOU CHOOSE TO IGNORE OUR REQUEST, WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TEMPORARILY SUSPEND YOUR ONLINE BANKING ACCOUNT.

I was feeling a little left out.

Did you report it to the bank?

[Conquest10]

No, I just got it.

I don't have an account with the bank. Should I still report it?

[waheed]

Report it to the police

Or just log in using Richard Nixon's social security number....

Or just log in using Richard Nixon's social security number....

I've never had anything like this with my bank but have had a few for PayPal - I've always reported them and all I've ever had in responce was their generic "thanks" reply.

I'd report it Conquest. I got a similar email from a "Southtrust" bank which is not where i bank. I sent the email and fake site addy to them. They seemed somewhat appreciative. I wish i had logged in with Tricky Dick's account number, I'm sure he has zillions!

Later!

I reported the email to Lasalle.

BJ, that last one is real good. It will fool a lot of people.

I received one from the washington mutual, it looked real, I reported it to the bank, they really seemed shocked.
I received also like 10 from paypal, I also reported them the fist ones, but they had an attitude like they couldn't care less.

[MOVIEGEEK]
