OT: Scam E-Mail Going Around to Forum Members

Hi all. It appears there is a crawler that has been going through these forums and harvesting e-mail address' probally from forum members' profiles. I would suggest that you remove your e-mail address from your profile to prevent this. The e-mail claims itself to be from SunTrust. It is a very obvious fake, so the normal warnings of don't believe it goes out. Here's a copy of the e-mail. I have removed everyone's e-mail address' from the e-mail, but I did recognize a few names, so I know they are getting the e-mail address' here...

Dear SunTrust Account Holder,

During our regularly scheduled account maintenance and verification procedures, we were unable to verify your account information. This might be due to either one of the following reasons:

1. A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address).
2. Submitting invalid information during the initial enrollment process.
3. An inability to accurately verify your account information due to an internal error within our processors.

We demand that you renew your records to avoid running into any future problems with the online service. However, failure to update your records will result in your account suspension.

Once you have updated your account records your internet banking service will not be interrupted and will continue as normal.

Please follow the link below and renew your account information.

Thank you for your patience.
Sincerely,
SunTrust Customer Service
