CIMB SPAM - BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU RECEIVE THIS

SPAM FROM CIMB!

The above is an email purportedly sent by CIMB, a Malaysian bank. I detected it recently and decide to post it here. This is a very advanced email spam waiting to snare you into giving your account details and if you did, you will lose everything and CIMB will not know anything or be liable because it did not send the email.

Look at the red arrows. The top arrow shows the purported email (directaccess@cimb.com) and the bottom one shows the so-called copy right - just to lend legitimacy to the spam. Below this arrow, you see a DO NOT REPLY message, which should set off your alarm bells.

There are hyperlinks on instruction 1 and 4 in blue, but fortunately, it was disabled when the mail dropped into the server. (You can disable all these links from possible spammers by disabling HTML on your email and choose only PLAIN TEXT for email display in your mail settings).

I hope by posting this, CIMB will be alerted. I have yet to see anything on their site - www.cimb.com.my -. Will it be like the Petronas Scam I warned about earlier? I really hope not if the Public Relations (Community and Corporate Image/Branding departments) people are reading this.
