Suspicious Account Activity Reference XjzIEx8
I got this one today... I wonder how many people get caught by such emails!
The important part, I found, is this:
* PLEASE NOTE: If the verification is successful you will be transferred to the Citibank Welcome Page and you can you use account as regular. DO NOT Make any changes to your account.
They clearly ask you not to change anything one you are really logged in your account. Which is probably a good idea, because if you give them your credentials first, logging in and changing your password will throw them off a bit!
The other interesting aspect is the email address which includes a strange code:
alerts-5xZKavJ@citibank.com
You wonder how they thought of that one... especially because most businesses will send alerts with accounts such as "noreply@my-business.com" and not some auto-generated email.
The signature at the end is also funny...
FYI, the form was being sent to http://209.140.27.85/cgi-bin/zzz/zzz
