I have been experiencing a significant increase in email SPAM and scams lately, but one (of the three) that I got today is worthy of notice!
First, the "from" address is spoofed to look like it came from Chase Bank, but the "reply to" address is crafted to look like PayPal.
From the body of the email:
"... We have detected irregular activity on your account. So we have limited your Account.
For your protection you have to verify this activity. Before you can continue using Your Credit/Debit Card and online access.
We noticed that your account security is outdated, you need to update your information to guarantee safe online banking by these easy steps:
Login to your account using the button below
In the second step, we authenticate with your email provider, so you must enter the correct password for your email.
Please complete all steps
..."
The demand to provide my email password is a new one for me. Ambitious, but I guess it only has to work a few times to be worthwhile.
