My wife and I both received very seductive phishing email this morning
asking us to update our NCUA accounts. The email had a very detailed
replication of the NCUA web site (including various links). But the
address that showed when you ran your cursor over the "Click to update
your records" was not NCUA.
Evolution/linux put the email right into junk, but both Outlook
Express (XP) and Entourage (on MAC OSX) opened it.
I've also received at least two different pfishing emails purporting to
come from PayPal.
The NCUA web site has a good warning about this pfishing. Readers of
this list won't need to be warned, but you might have clients that it
would be good to warn. Stress that no reputable organization will
request this kind of information via email
