Received this one today:Important Alert !!! June, 2009From: ©InterSwitch Nigeria Limited"Dear InterSwitch Value Customer,InterSwitch is pleased to notify our online banking customers thatwe have successfully upgraded to a more secure and encryptedSSL servers to serve our esteemed customers for a better andmore efficient banking services in the year 2009.Due to this recent upgrade you are requested to update yourATM CARD information by following the reference below. using ournew secure and safe SSL servers. To validate your ATM CARD accountclick on UPGRADE MY ATM CARD SECURITY.This Email has being sent to all our Bank customers, and it iscompulsory to follow as failure to verify account details will lead toaccount suspension.Thank you.©InterSwitch Nigeria LimitedFor crying out loud,this cannot fool any intelligent person (like I said before in my comment on a similar post) cos the English (language, punctuation, structure) is crap and the email address is bogus (why would an establishment like Interswitch send out such a shoddy email and have an address at aol.com?). My only worry is for those who are not more informed and literate than the people who send out these mails cos they are the easiest prey. I think the answer is better education (at the grassroots level and on the internet) and people just being more observant and cautious. On the flip side, however, if these scammers became more intelligent then we would probably all be likely prey....but exercising necessary caution in matters of a personal and financial nature can never go wrong....and I think that's the ultimate solution.
