TX Attorney General warns of bank scams
Posted on Feb 26, 2006 by Tom Fragala
Fraudulent emails from supposedly trusted organizations show no signs of slowing down. Bottom line: NEVER trust any email that asks you to enter, confirm or update any personal information…
Several major financial institutions urge consumers to avoid fraudulent e-mails. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott sent out an urgent message for all Texans to be on the lookout for official-looking e-mails purporting to originate from major financial institutions asking for personal account information.
In the latest series of so-called “phishing” scams, the e-mail sender claims to represent financial institutions such as Comerica, Chase or others. The message instructs the “account holder” to submit personal account information because “bank officials” have reason to believe his or her account may have been accessed by an unauthorized party.
