FDIC Email Scam
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you get an official-looking email from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) -- including the FDIC logo --
telling you that the Department of Homeland Security has
suspended insurance on your bank account due to suspected
violations of the Patriot Act (which is the US anti-terrorism
law), don't respond!
This is just another attempt to get access to your personal
information.
The email, of course, asks the recipient to provide lots of
personal information, including bank account information. It
also includes a link to a bogus website that supposedly belongs
to the FDIC (it doesn't).
If you receive this email, you can contact the real FDIC at
[email protected] for further information.
