I got a phishing email purporting to be from the Royal Bank of Canada (I'm not a client of that bank). Over the years, I've received dozens of these things, but never actually checked them out. This time, I did.
That email pointed to this URL:
http://www.missmissouri.org/members/pro/rbunxcgiF6=1&F7=IB blah, blah, blah ... )
The site is (poorly) branded as the RBC Financial Group.
I wonder how many people, when confronted with a pallid imitation of a bank website, would -- if their spidey sense wasn't already tingling -- not look at the URL and wonder why the domain was www.missmissouri.org before they inputted sensitive financial information.
Here's the real one: http://www.royalbank.ca/ ... er, I think it's the real one. :)
