Bank of America Scam!

Perhaps a lot of folks out there already know about this, but if not this is a warning to anyone who banks with Bank of America. Someone is phishing for bank account information using a site from Sweden called Sand Viken Garden. I received an e-mail about five minutes ago which contains the following text:

“Dear Valued Customer :

As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity in the Bank Of America Online Banking system. We recently contacted you after noticing an issue on your account.We requested information from you for the following reason:

Our system requires further account verification.

To restore your account, please Sign in to Online Banking.“

When you hover over the link provided in the email you can see in your browser status window that it points to:

hxxp://www.sandvikengarden.s.se/onlinebanking/index.html.

Obviously I’m not going to hyperlink that because I don’t feel like contributing to their cause.
