Dear BB&T customer,

We recently reviewed your account, and suspect that your BB&T Internet
Banking account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party.
Protecting the security of your account and of the BB&T network is our

temporarily limited access to sensitive account features.

To restore your account access, please take the following steps to
ensure that your account has not been compromised:

1. Login to your BB&T Internet Banking account. In case you are not
enrolled for Internet Banking, you will have to use your Social
Security Number as both your Personal ID and Password and fill in all
the required information, including your name and your account number.

2. Review your recent account history for any unauthorized
withdrawals or deposits, and check your account profile to make sure
not changes have been made. If any unauthorized activity has taken

No 220-pound thug can threaten the well-being or dignity of a 110-pound
woman who has two pounds of iron to even things out. Is that evil?
Is that wrong? People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence,
they're begging for the rule of brute force, when the biggest, strongest
animals among men were always automatically "right". Guns end that,
and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make
it work.

Yeah, very new.
I've only had several thousand of these to date...

About once a month I get a few of these,purporting to be from various banks.
So far, they have all been banks in which I have no accounts.

The first I got, claimed to be from BankAmerica.
The fact that they misspelled "Customer Service" in their email address, was
a dead give away.

For ev1.net:

But it looks like it really came from galacticzero.net (which
ev1.net
hosts so keep them on the list) so you can add

(perhaps .. that's *perhaps* THEM but it looks like a smallish
hosting
firm with a rogue user).
galacticzero.net is registered with godaddy so add:


For the FTC:

bbandt.com = 208.11.12.254
Abuse address ,
Perhaps add ,
and as it's clearly an attempt at fraud.
bbandt.com is registered with networksolutions.com so a

Yep. ^_^

I rather prefer the Nigerian scam, though. I mean,
the idea of getting 10% of several hundred million
dollars is just a LOT more appealing than having to
worry about someone pilfering your account.

I received something similar from a credit card company a few weeks ago.
Called the company and they strongly said no - they did not send it. And
then gave me an email address to send the message to for their research and
action.

I've been informed my paypal account, my citibank account, and my ebay
account all have irregularities. I usually advise them to give them some
prunes, that will fix them, seeing as how I don't have any of those three.

Its phishing again. They are doing it because it makes real money,
the Wall St. Journal says millions.

Whats amazing to me is this is the easiest fraud to stop. They have to use
USA based web sites to do it, which means that they have to have physical
servers here somewhere. Raiding and shutting down phisher hosts would
put a stop to this nonsense quickly.
