Stupid Punts!

Beware the Sun Trust scam that is currently doing the rounds.

This scam is a good example of the phishing scams that are becoming very popular.

Here the writer claims to be from Sun Trust Bank, and asks me to click on a link to verify security details.

The site, and mail, all look genuine.

However, do not be fooled; the scammer will steal your pin code, and raid your account.

No genuine financial organisation would ever write to you asking for your pin code.
