By strange circumstance, I received my first phishing email today in a long time! It was purported to be from "First Third Bank" and sounded like a joke to me...

To my surprise, the bank actually exists! They already had a "report a suspicious email" link set up, and I forwarded it to them...

The fact they asked for my "contact information" was suspicious too!!!

(I used a junk email address to forward it to them...)
