FW: Glaring Example of a Phishing mail

Enclosed is a mail that I received, which looks like an authentic mail from ICICI Bank, but is a typical phishing mail. 

 

The mail id, logo, the color combination, the link shown in the mail, the person who has signed the mail – all look authentic.

 

Take the cursor to the link in the mail (https://infinity.icicibank.co.in/BANKAWAY?Action.RetUser.Init.001=Y&AppSignonBankId=ICI&AppType=retail&abrdPrf=N), you will notice that it points to a site called www.praisefm.ky.  All the information that you key-in (account number, Password,PIN etc.) are captured and misused.

 

Please remember that NO BANKS ask for sensitive details like the card number, password etc. through a mail.

 

Its better to be cautious now than regret later.

 

Best wishes….KRC
