This is a phishing mail I received recently, the perpetrator had RIPED and CLONED one of CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA webpage to deceive uninformed Nigerian to disclose their ATM pin and other details. If you receive any mail like this, don't click on the link until you are sure that the destination link and display address match and this point is even valid if know the sender in the first place. Happy reading, trust me this is one of craftiest mail in this regard.
