Washington Mutual Internet Banking account phishing Scam
« on: February 15, 2005, 09:41:23 PM »
I don't have an account there so I know this is a scam right off.

Dear "[email protected]" Washington Mutual Customer,
We recently reviewed your account, and suspect that your Washington Mutual Internet Banking account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party. Protecting the security of your account and of the Washington Mutual network is our primary concern. Therefore, as a preventative measure, we have temporarily limited access to sensitive account features.

To restore your account access, please take the following steps to ensure that your account has not been compromised:

1. Login to your Washington Mutual Internet Banking account. In case you are not enrolled for Internet Banking, you will have to use your Social Security Number (without spaces or dashes) as both your Personal ID and Password and fill in all the required information, including your name and account number.

2. Review your recent account history for any unauthorized withdrawals or deposits, and check your account profile to make sure not changes have been made. If any unauthorized activity has taken place on your account, report this to Washington Mutual sraff immediately.

To get started, please click on the link below:

Sincerly,
The Washington Mutual Team
