The latest scam is sending you a very authentic looking e-mail from a financial institution you happen to do business with, telling you that you need to update certain account information. All of the corporate logos and internal links look legit.

Except that the sender's e-mail domain is different than your financial institution's.

The other tip-off is that corporations like Wells Fargo and Bank of America generally don't send off correspondance loaded with mis-spelled words and poor grammar.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
