Just went to access the website and saw this alert in the sign-in page. Just a heads-up for the PCF customers out there

its not pcf specific, this goes for any bank.

NO doubt. I've seen my fair share in the inbox. But from the sound of it, this is the first time PCF has been phished

prob cause the ppl sending out these emails haven't heard of pcf until now, plus its was such a small operation before that it was unlikely anyone getting these emails actually banked with pcf.

Do people still fall for these phishing operations? If I got an email asking for my bank account numbers and passwords, I'd be a little suspicious.

Unfortunately, yes alot of people are still stupid and would believe it so easily.

I still get emails from my friends forwarding those free ipod, free gift certificates, etc. pyramid schemes to me despite I keep telling them that they are scams :evil:

LoL, lordie, the first sentence is enough to make me burst out laughing.

"If you are receiving this message is that u have one or more accounts......."

They even typed "u" instead of "you"

Wow.

You get those kinda emails for every type of company where they want your information.

I got an email saying I had just sent money for a paypal transaction even though that email address doesn't even have my paypal account associated with it. I would never trust anything in my email inbox, just go to the webpage yourself.

Those free ipods, can work. But it's not worth the time and effort. It's more technical, with lots of restrictions. You might end up waiting much longer than you expect.

Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that next time I get a free 360 email. :lol:
