How to spot an e-mail scam

Warning: Beware of This WarningHow's this for social engineering? Crooks neatly fabricated a phishing attack in the guise of this alert about phishing.

To guard against this or any other phishing attack, always use your own bookmark or type in your bank's address rather than clicking an e-mail link. (Image provided by Cloudmark.)
