Citibank Scam
« on: February 18, 2005, 10:06:53 AM »

Valued Citibank client

In our bank we value our clients and money, thats why we have to upgrade our database. The upgrade requires our costumers to update their debit/credit card information to avoid problems in our ATM services.
The reson to this upgrade is that we want to be well prepared for the smartcard upgrade on VISA creditcards. The smarcards reads a different type of encryption from our databases wich is more secure than the old type.

Please update your debit/credit card information as soon as possible.

This is the one that is embeded so that you don't see it.

I recieved this in the email this morning it looked offical but I know I don't have an account with Citibank. That was the first clue.
This came to me while chopping wood the other day. You've heard don't sweat the small stuff. I say save it for later and use it for kindling
