Got an email from my credit card company today. They noticed some suspicious activity on my account and they wanted me to open the form that was attached to the email. In the form I would find a URL that I needed to open with my web browser.



Right.



As a precaution I called the credit company to check and also forwarded the email to their security peeps. So, reminder to everyone if it smells like 3 day old phish? Probably is
