Investigator Notes:
1. The email was sent without a “To” field so that additional recipients could not be identified. Most legitimate emails to account holders and customers are sent directly to the recipient’s email address and are often personalized with the account holder’s name in the email.
2. The included link:
avamehr.com:81/bankofhanover/survey/survey.php
points to a website which is obviously not a Bank of Hanover website. This entire email was a very amateur attempt.
3. Bank accounts are the most desireable accounts to phishermen. Extra precaution should always be taken when receiving suspicious emails ragarding bank accounts.
4. Spelling and/or grammatical errors. Layout problems.
