I got an email a few days ago purporting to be from Chase Bank about a problem with my account. I do have a Chase card but not a regular bank account.

I use Thunderbird for reading emails, and I display in plain text unless clicking the "Show HTML" button seems appropriate, so I could see that the sender's email address was obviously nothing to do with Chase, and the "Log in" button went to somewhere other than Chase.

When I tried to forward it to abuse@chase.com, my ISP blocked it as "Spam" -- and even when I put spaces between some of the letters in that email address and link URL. So why did the ISP let it get to me in the first place, you ask. Because I got fed up with them flagging as Spam messages that were not Spam (especially from Yahoo groups), so I told them to stop *their* Spam checks and let me decide what is and isn't Spam.

I got one yesterday that was obvious phishing... it was from an address I

which should never be needed!  I sent it to my virus scanner service desk 
because the scanner didn't alarm on it... they came back this morning with 
updates to their definitions files because it was a new one.  Just fair 
warning, there are new attacks every day and some day you may be a target 
before it has been identified.

Got the below e-mail this morning. It came with an attached .doc that I did not 
click on.
