This is one of several different phishing scams, all using the same tactics, the title attribute of the links are rigged and the scammers are using fake security measures to create a false sense of security.
Here are a couple of specific pointers to identify these scams:
- Obvious typo's like Cardmember
- The scammers don't know your name: The card member in these examples are always called Customer or the recipient is always addressed as Dear Customer. Your bank will know your name and address you accordingly. Beware, scammers can also know your name, so always look at the e-mail as a whole and not just at one specific characteristic.
- They quote the last 4 digits of an account number and/or a card number. The chances of sending one of these e-mails to an actual customer, where the last 4 digits of both the card and account number, mentioned in the e-mail, match the last 4 digits of the card and account number of that specific customer, is like a million to one. We believe the main purpose of these numbers are to add to the false sense of security the scammer is trying to create. The scammers are bargaining on people who grew accustomed to these safety features and no longer pay attention to them. Their mere presence in the e-mail might make the victim think that the e-mail really came from the organisation in question, without actually looking at the numbers.
Hover with your mouse over the link and you will see that the pop-up tooltip is not the same as the address in the status bar of your browser.
