Texas Dow Employees Credit Union—A number of unsolicited email messages are spreading across
This is going on and on with pretty much all the banks I ever heard of. Many with British banks now and my less global banks! It looks like the phishers are targeting smaller banks which certainly have much less money to spend on protecting their users from giving away their credentials. This scheme most certainly work. According to the numbers I have seen, 1 in 100 people will fall for it and these people lose US $800 on average. This is quite expensive!
Notice that this one is using an account of some sort at the University of Toronto for the fake page. The URL is really bad! But still, I'm sure it will work.
Finally, this is ironical, the email says that there are loads of emails going around for phishing purposes. Isn't that funny? Well... probably not if you fall for it!
