Comments:
  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at E*Trade by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • E*Trade never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "https://us.etrade.com/e/t/user/login".


  • The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual E*Trade URL.

Dear xxx@xxx.net,
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your E*Trade account from a different IP address.
If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you did not initiate the log ins, please visit E*Trade as soon as possible to check-up your account information:

Thanks for your patience.
Sincerely,
E*Trade Centre
