One of the oldest phising schemes on the web. Must get 10 or more each day that are similar, even from institutions I don't do business with. Funny one was SunTrust yesterday. In the morning one came in asking me to verify my account information, I don't have one. At noon time a second one came in saying that they might have to suspend my access if I did not comply. Then 2 hours later a another arrived saying my access was suspended & that the only way I could get back in was via the attached link to somewhere (http:\\218.12.122.5). They even stated that "customer assistance cannot help you" and that you'd have to wait 72 hours after completing their form to get back in.

Yup, the Grinch and/or Ebenezer Scrooge is alive & well. Worst part is that a lot of folks fall for these.
