Everyone, Please be advised. There is an email circulating with these words... kindly DELETE immediately. It is a scam to get your vital details such as credit card info etc!!! What happens is that it does open up a genuine citibank webpage but at the same go it allows a popup. Apart from spelling errors that could churn your stomach, they actually redirect you to www.liow09w3q.da.ru/?x66wVNbIZwyDBbN (russian domain) which is what triggers off the popup I think and then www.menforyou.kir.jp/cit/ (Japanese Domain) and they happen so fast, I literally had to clear off my cache, cookies and clear the history to slow down the process just so I could catch the URLs.

I have seen those types of e-mails come in not just for Citibank but also for Ebay (your credit card has expired, please fill in your new credit card information here), for Paypal (same story). They look so legit using templates of legit websites that you really have to look beyond the mail itself. I don't trust any e-mail that solicits my private financial information and just delete them. Whenever I need to update any web financial information I simply log into the secure sites of the companies I am dealing with.

Email is a BAD BAD way to send any vital information such as credit card etc. if you just have haaaaave to send vital info, at least do it on a trusted website which has https://.... and has a valid secure cert. Generally that would help.

But some cons are larger than the system. Sooner or later someone will find a way to beat the system. They are genuine wolves in fake sheepskin. Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes. (Even the wool they pull over your eyes is 50% rayon) ;) Ok that's one baaaaaaaaaad pun. But ewe get the idea.

(This user slinks away sheepishly).

In the US sending Visa card info via email is illegal.. atleast that's what I heard... visa will come after you if they find out.

Thank you, ejrsdotcom, for the warning. I'm sure it will help someone, somewhere. I never ceased to be amazed at what some people do with their information. The company I work for accepts credit card payment. People give it to me on the phone, via fax, via email, via regular mail, anything goes... I'd never think of doing that myself.. but oh well...

There was once a company that requested authorization etc and asked me to email my card number as proof that I made the order. I nuked them to kingdom come saying how dare they ask me for card details over a non secure medium such as email. People are soooo dumb sometimes.
