A couple of days ago, I nearly was caught by a phishing mail. Hah.. this is what lack of sleep with do to anyone.
I actually received an email from "E*Trade Bank" with the subject title: Security Alert: Update your account information. Normally, I would have trashed such mail straightaway without even opening it but I opened to read this mail because coincidentally, I was having an issue with my E*Trade account.
While my account is actually a brokerage account, the email from the bank made me pause for a second. And as always, an email that does not address me by name does not warrant any attention. Moreover, the email was sent to a WRONG address.
What ass luck I would have if I actually did click on the link. Check out the email, logo and all!
