Another instance of bogus content being presented in a pop up style window in front of genuine web content...

This spoof Citibank email (see image below) is in HTML format but contains an image only (no text) and clicking any where ont hat image will open a forged web form in a 'pop up' style window in front of the genuine citi.com home page.

The email is coded to exploit the URL spoofing vulnerability in IE browsers (use link right to test your browser).

Any information submitted is processed through a script located on the same server as the bogus content.

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.
