This is interesting. I just got a e-mail asking to me to update my US bank information. Problem is, I don't have a US Bank Account and even if I did, I just ain't that stupid. I changed the link to Disney in this post just so nobody misunderstands this.

The link originally took you to the IP address 61.221.243.26. This address belongs to Asia Pacific Network Information Centre in Milton Australia. Hmmm, a fraud spammer in a friendly nation, I am so going to try to ruin his day. I am sure US bank will be very interested in someone attempting to obtain US bank account information.
