I just got something in my inbox from "Bank of America". The email was full of typographical errors, and had a link at the bottom with a bunch of numbers in it, imploring me to click it and "update my information" because of suspected suspicious activity.
Yeah, suspicious activity from people who sent me the email...
I'm not even a Bank of America member, so I knew right away that something was fishy. Same thing with the emails I get that are supposedly from PayPal. I do have an account on PayPal... but the subject of the email is always something ridiculous like "!! Accounts Management !!" which just looks dumb and completely unprofessional. No self-respecting business would title their notification emails with something like that.
I'm glad I'm smart and web-savvy enough to not get roped in by stuff like this. I know several older people who would get all flustered about an email like that in their inbox, and who could therefore end up in a bunch of trouble for it. It's ridiculous. Don't these spammers have anything better to do?
