Heads up! Fun email I got

It's a web based form with fields for each of the "following information" bits, and a submit button. Verification's email address and the domain referenced in the form action tag are www.online-banking.net, which seems to be in germany? Amazingly, their web site doesn't seem to be working. Thank god my fiance knew enough to ask if she should fill this out.

LOL.. gotta love the social engineering going on. And it is somewhat scary in that people do actually fill these out and think its their bank...

You know, you'd think that if someone was going to go through the trouble on this, they might run their bait text through a spell checker 1st.

I belive that these are the same people that save their passwords and creditcard numbers on tablet paper by their computer.

'tis a sad thought that some people do not have the common sense to stop and think about this for just a second before they go filling out this kinda crap. these kinda people are just a waste of our good oxygen!
