I want to add my warning with a little more information. My husband received
a similar message and did the same. He was struck by how perfectly this

internet company, but he was momentarily taken off guard.

The term phishing comes from the fact that Internet scammers are using
increasingly sophisticated lures as they "fish" for users' financial
information and password data...
