Patriot Act/FDIC Phishing Scan

Another phishing scam…this time supposedly coming from the FDIC telling you your bank account has been suspended (or some other action) that violates the Patriot Act. It then directs you to a web site that probably will either download malware/viruses to your computer or will steal your personal data. Don’t fall for these scams, just trash the emails. The two links below describe the scam.
