Just thought your company would like to know I received an email this morning that someone at your company has kindly offered to donate $2M to me.
I could certainly use it, but for some bizarre reason, I doubt the authenticity of this email.
FYI, here is the email:
Solved! Solved! Go to Solution.

Phishing text message from 1-872-204-0378
I received a text message from the above number and I'm posting it is a warning to others. The message says:
"DUE TO SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITES YOUR ONLINE CIBC ACCOUNT HAVE BEEN DISABLE PLEASE VERIFIE ONLINE ACCOUNT TO AVOID SUSPENSION.
http://securesslbanking.net/cibc "
I blocked the number on my phone and so should you.

Good morning @mousetamer!
Thanks for sharing! We should all be on the lookout for these phishing scams and help each other out to avoid them whenever possible.
You may want to report this phishing attempt to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
Regards,
RogersCorey

Many phishing scams have spelling or grammatical errors, just like the six in the above short text. (2 spelling, 2 grammatical, 2 punctuation).
Some people believe this is done on purpose to ensnare the gullible, while others believe it's just stupid criminals. I leave that to you - see sample discussion below:
Anyway, a short message with that many mistakes should instantly send up a red flag. ESL's may also get caught...
