Bancorp Phishing Emails
October 30th, 2007
In October 2007, we started to see faked emails pretending to be from Bancorp South, asking users to enroll in the InView authentication system. Checking on several of the scam report sites confim that this is a well known attempt to collection user informtion.
These emails are sent under several different titles, such as
“BancorpSouth Corporate Management E-mail Security”
“Recognize and avoid fraudulent attempts to BancorpSouth customers”
The display url to click is https://www.bxs.com/inview/ , but looking at the html source reveals that clicks really end up at http://www.bxs[…].go234.us/login.htm
This type of attempt is very common. It is highly recommended that you never respond to an email claiming to be from your financial institution by clicking on any links in it. If you want to check, type your bank’s URL directly into your browser address bar - any important announcements will be visible to you when you log in.
