These readers are getting an email that looks surprisingly official (see below). When they click on the Log In button, they're going to a page that has already been shut down. That might not always be the case."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1242701827.usr105634.jpg" /></em></p><p>Everyone should know by now not to click on links in emails that ask for financial or personal info like this example. But apparently that isn't the case, since a few people have fallen victim to this particular scam. I have yet to receive one like this, but I've received some in the past that came from Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Bottom line of course, never click on a link in an email regarding your financial or personal information. Instead, play it safe and go direct to the website of the company that supposedly sent the email.</p>
