Citibank E-mail verification - Spoof Email Phishing Scam
25th February 2004

 

Citibank spoof email links to bogus content eminating from Taiwan's Ministry of Education...

read also our brief guide to Phishing

This spoof Citibank email comes in text form but is written in HTML so that the link given could be disguised to look like a genuine Citibank link, when in actual fact, it will take you to a web page which reolves to Taiwan's Ministry of Education Computer Center in Taipei.

The URL of the page that the email wants you to visit to 'verify your email' with Citibank is http://192.192.230.48/........ This IP address resolves directly to the Ministry of Education Computer Center in Taiwan. The page has now been removed, and we await a response from the MOE following our request for more information.

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
