That is the letter I got. I was nervous and clicked the link, tried to verify what kind of transaction it was. The link is http://wow.kismetbp.com/roster/addons/siggen/saved/WA.html. That was the link behind http://www.wachovia.com//cgi_w/cfm/personal/wachovia_internet_banking.cf.... Although I got alert ""Suspected Web Forgery", I still filed out my account info. I never thought that Wachovia bank can be a "Web Forgery". I only thought it was a mistake. However, after I submitted info, I realized that the link was not from Wachovia bank. I began to be alert. However, they already collected my bank info. I called bank and asked them to cancel my bank card and close my checking account... This headache lasted for 2 hours. My weekend became sour.
It reminded me another instance. I got a letter from http://www.irs.org. They claimed that I paid more tax to the federal government last year and I shall get $334 back. In order to receive the refund, I have to fill out info by the link they provided. I was busy at that time and left this matter for 4 weeks before I looked into it. However, I realized that the URL is not from irs.gov. I began to be suspicious. I didn't fill out the form.
There are so many liars and cheaters there. They just make our life difficult. I do hate them. However, we have to be armed for it. Otherwise, our life will be destroyed one way another.
