USF Federal Credit Union Scam - Unrecognized Computer Letter
LifeLock Identity Theft Prevention - Save 10%

Contents - List of Scams by Type and by profession.

 

Analysis: This is a dangerous letter. It is well thought out, and plausible.. but like most of these letters the one flaw is the link to log onto your account. The Link to your account goes to www.job.travel/hbs.creditunion.usf.edu  which appears to be the RIGHT URL but it really goes to www.Job.travel  which is one of the new exotic web domain extensions. Then they just added folders to match the normal USF Credit Union website.

Then they tell you to allow extra time because email can get "Delayed" on the internet.
They did make ONE other mistake.. it is in both grammar and spelling but I will not point it out, as that would help them.
