Do you think this is a scam?

That should have been the least thing to raise a red flag. No bank or credit card company ever sends out e-mails asking for your information. I get these phishers all the time, mostly regarding my e-bay account. I actually opened one recently, and it was scary how much information it wanted, including bank account numbers, credit card numbers, social security number, etc. In essence, if I had answered it, I would have no identity of my own left. I'm sure all my accounts would have been wiped clean and my credit cards maxed out in no time at all.

Scary $hit for the unsuspecting among us.

The word before "off" and the word before "you" are the same. Does that help?

I think you guys are trying to tell me something. Your details would be safe with me and my Nigerian bank manager.

Adrian,

Maybe you should send them any other account numbers and passwords you DO have, along with any personal identifying information -- just in case it will help them to protect you in the future.

Good idea Peter, I'll get right on it.
