And you know for a fact that they did not subscribe to
the newsletter?
I am
a US Back customer and I have never received their
newsletter (and they
certainly have my e-mail address since I do online
banking with them)
until
just now, when I subscribed to it for testing purposes.
I am not a customer, heck, i dont even know that US bank at
all, but i
have at least 10 fresh ones in my spamtrap, on never used
domains/address
combinations. They are a known fishing target.
No one is disputing that, certainly not me, since I report
US Bank phishing
e-mails to PH almost daily. However, don't confuse these
phishing e-mails
with "legitimate", subscription based, e-mails coming
directly from US Bank.
Remember, they are a legitimate, national banking
institution and have a
right to send out legitimate e-mail newsletters to their
subscribers without
having them unnecessarily and erroneously blocked.
Would you dispute this?
So bottom line: is usbank-email.com legitimate and being mentioned in a phish? Does the phish actually direct victims to a different site?
This is a legit site being mentioned in a fish. They should not be listed in SURBL.
