I don't know how to copy the corporate logo (which matched the credit unions logo exactly) which was at the header of the e-mail text.
My first reaction was "crap, someone opened an account in my name and is going buck wild on a spending spree". I called the # to try to contact an operator and see if there was actually an account in my name with them. The automated system only asked for credit #, pin, SS#. I then called the 800 # provided on the credit unions real web site. They told me that their CEO sent out a memo concerning the fishing attempt and to basically be prepared for a bad day. There was no link and the "from" address was accounts@pudcu.com, highlighting it to see the original IP did nothing for me, the original e-mail was sent from an SBC.YAHOO server, so I'm not sure if that's their e-mail server, or mine as my account was moved to SBC a few years ago.
Sorry parker, not gonna get rid of me that easy. The credit union has assured me that there are no accounts under my name at their bank, so I can hopefully go return the bow saw to Home Depot for some money back.
