----- Forwarded Message ----- From: NIC BANK <realdeal01@freenet.de> To: Sent: Tuesday, August 2, 2011 7:46 PM Subject: URGENT - ACCOUNT IS LOCKED [ DETAILS ] - Dear Valued Customer, URGENT SECURITY NOTIFICATION We are performing a service upgrade.

Is that really from NIC bank? The address that it's from is not in the NIC bank domain [realdeal01@freenet.de] and neither does the "Activate now" link point to their website. It could be something to do with phishing, I guess On 3 August 2011 12:23, wesley kirinya <kiriinya2000@yahoo.com> wrote:

It's actually a phishing attempt. Takes your login details then redirects you to the real NIC bank website. I entered fake details with WantaPhish? as my password - no error message :) On 3 August 2011 13:09, Simon Mbuthia <simon.mbuthia@gmail.com> wrote:
