My eBay account will be suspended if I don't click on this oh-so-important link in this email and update my information!!! Whatever shall I do???

Well, obviously, I'm not going to click on the link. BECAUSE I'M NOT STUPID, KTHXDIE.

What makes this particular phishing attempt worthy of an LJ post, when I get about three of them a day? This gem at the bottom:

You should see the ones we get overseas... Re-translated, they'd read something like:

"Gentle customer,
Recently we have seen again your customer and we think a suspect that your bank operations customer of the Internet of the [name-of-the-bank] is reachable by unauthorized third ones. The safety of your customer's protection and the network of the chasing bank and our primary worry. Therefore, as a preemptive measure, we have limited temporarily access to the sensitive peculiarities of customer.

Sprint this way to activate the customer of yours."

Oooo-kay. I'm gonna fall for that. Watch me fall. Here I go. Honest. Any time now.

They'll never grow up to be successful criminals if they don't pay attention to details!
