I just got a HTML e-mail from email.bankofamerica1.com (notice the '1') asking me to sign-in at:
http://links.bankofamerica1.com:8082/Click?
q=c2-oXxLQUEyqThpeyRgVnmX3Fn0xOFR&a=1
Clicking on the link will peg me as a potential Bank of America customer, but I was curious to see if there was a phishing page at the other end so I went ahead and ended up at the real Bank of America login page. Hmm. Curious.
This is what their WHOIS record say:
Registrant:
Bank of America Corporation
1201 Main Street, 12th Floor
TX1-609-12-15
Dallas, TX 75202
US
Checking Google, I found that the domain name is on several spammer blacklists.
All this leaves me wondering whether these guys are crooks or just a corporate vehicle for spamming. Fish or spam makes a terrible menu.
BTW, I am now receiving at least one genuine phishing e-mail everyday. For me, at least, they are proving to be a good source of entertainment.
