I have seen at least 20 or so almost identically formatted messages within the last week claiming to be from places such as Wachovia, Citibank, and even the BBB. Rather than basic phishing, they appear to link to trojans being referred to as either digital signatures or security certificates.

I guess these criminals really like kicking people when they are down!

Heck, I've even gotten them from banks I don't have an account with (such as the British banking firm Abbey National - kinda hard to have an account with a British bank when you live in NEW YORK!).
