Phish: ATM CARD UPDATE

Ok, first of all. No professional will ever send you a formal email that is written entirely in caps. Secondly, no professional will be sending you an email from yahoo.com, or expect you to reply to such an address. And, of course, "antbello4love" is such a professional address to have. Really.

Although, I would really like to know what "none officials in the bank" are. Really. I have a friend who works at a credit union, but she's never mentioned a title called "none" to me. Hm...

I'm going to totally ignore the spelling and grammar issues- and all the reasons why someone with several million dollars to give away is not going to slip up and send the email to the wrong person. Or an email at all. Or give out sensitive information. Or sound as if they're scolding you for being obstinate and trying to get the money the wrong way. Or.... you get the idea.

This is a scam!
