Phishers Fake FDIC Web Site
Phishers spoofed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) again and using bogus e-mails, tried to entice consumers to sign up for non-existent service that tracks suspicious activity on credit, debit, and bank ATM cards.
This isn’t the first time that phishers have used the FDIC as a disguise to trick consumers.
Earlier this month, the Anti-Phishing Working Group detected a less sophisticated scam that tried to get users to give up their credit card account numbers, Social Security numbers, and PINs.
