[TowerTalk] FW: Your Enrolled Payment has been initiated

[Alan NV8A]

I got an email a few days ago purporting to be from Chase Bank about a 
problem with my account. I do have a Chase card but not a regular bank 
account.

I use Thunderbird for reading emails, and I display in plain text unless 
clicking the "Show HTML" button seems appropriate, so I could see that 
the sender's email address was obviously nothing to do with Chase, and 
the "Log in" button went to somewhere other than Chase.

When I tried to forward it to abuse at chase.com, my ISP blocked it as 
"Spam" -- and even when I put spaces between some of the letters in that 
email address and link URL. So why did the ISP let it get to me in the 
first place, you ask. Because I got fed up with them flagging as Spam 
messages that were not Spam (especially from Yahoo groups), so I told 
them to stop *their* Spam checks and let me decide what is and isn't Spam.

The text of the message said to enable editing to read the payment info, which should never be needed!  I sent it to my virus scanner service desk because the scanner didn't alarm on it... they came back this morning with updates to their definitions files because it was a new one.  Just fair warning, there are new attacks every day and some day you may be a target before it has been identified.
