Alert Posted Friday, January 23, 2004 @ 4:10pm CT: There is a new scam that has surfaced this afternoon in e-mails around the world that you need to not only be aware of, but let other (potentially more gullible) bank account holders in on so they don't end up on the victim's list.
 
DO NOT BITE on the following e-mail, supposedly originating from the FDIC:
 
To Whom It May Concern:
 
In cooperation with the Department Of Homeland Security, Federal, State and Local Governments your account has been denied insurance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation due to suspected violations of the Patriot Act. While we have only a limited amount of evidence gathered on your account at this time it is enough to suspect that currency violations may have occurred in your account and due to this activity we have withdrawn Federal Deposit Insurance on your account until we verify that your account has not been used in a violation of the Patriot Act.

As a result, Department Of Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge has advised the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to suspend all deposit insurance on your account until such time as we can verify your identity and your account information.

Please verify through our IDVerify below. This information will be checked against a federal government database for identity verification. This only takes up to a minute and when we have verified your identity you will be notified of said verification and all suspensions of insurance on your account will be lifted.

http://www.fdic.gov/idverify/cgi-bin/index.htm

Failure to use IDVerify below will cause all insurance for your account to be terminated and all records of your account history will be sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington D.C. for analysis and verification. Failure to provide proper identity may also result in a visit from Local, State or Federal Government or Homeland Security Officials.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Donald E. Powell
Chairman Emeritus FDIC

John D. Hawke, Jr.
Comptroller of the Currency

Michael E. Bartell
Chief Information Officer

This scam is obviously designed to get your most personal information that will then allow the bad guys to clone your identity, or even drain your bank accounts dry.

Forward this e-mail to everyone in your Address Book and save them a slew of potential brain-damage.
 
 
What’s it worth to protect yourself from identity theft? Government experts estimate that consumers will spend over $2,000 in real time, phone calls, postage and other brain-damage after they’ve discovered they been hit by the ID thieves–but I think it’s a lot higher, especially when you factor in the reality of losing out on the lowest interest rates available because of the damage inflicted by these scumbags.

Solution? 24 hours-a-day/366 days (this) year of credit report monitoring: Sure, it’ll cost you $79.95 a year, but protecting yourself from loss (do you have auto/home/health/life insurance?) ain’t free. Quit your whining and protect yourself from this 21st century pain-in-the-butt..... Click here to try credit monitoring at Consumer Info.

Too late? Already been stung by the bad guys? Get the word out to the law enforcement community and the credit bureaus in a heartbeat. Check out my comprehensive section on what to do and where to go by clicking here!
