Phishing Emails

Been getting pesky email spam lately. Especially all those Phishing emails? View the source of the email and post the real info about the spammers here.

An example is this email I got today

To review your account and some or all of the information that Bank of the West used to make its decision to limit your account access, please visit the link below:

But the real url underneath that link was for vds-365144.amen-pro.com/.BOW/PP090292753form.htm
