Bank of America Phishing Email
This is another version of the Key Bank Phishing Email. The web page that this email points to, tried to force me to execute an executable file. I have not had a chance to look into the executable yet, but any web page that does that concerns me.
So if you receive an email like this, DELETE IT .
Here are the images of the html and text of email I received, the web site, and the download prompt. You can click on one of the thumbnails below to see a larger version of the image:
Here is the text of the message I received.

I received another email with the body, it was just "signed" by a different person.

Even though this message said it came from bankofamerica.com, the actually sending IP address pointed to:
inetnum: 62.45.192.0 - 62.45.255.255
netname: KABELFOON
descr: Postbus 45
descr: NL-2670 AA Naaldwijk
country: NL
Maybe I am a little skeptical, but I don't think that this bank is hosting its business in NL.
So if you happen to get this email don't follow any of the links or reply to it, just DELETE IT.
Dave
