OCCU Phish Attempt

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 08:53:41 -0700

This official-looking phishing attempt include warnings about clicking on links in "fraudulent emails". They are trying to be sneaky by giving you a phone number to call. Don't be fooled, this is still an unsolicited request for your personal information! Don't click on links to get to your bank website, and don't trust that an unsolicited email sent to you contains the correct phone number.
