and another one
Dear Metrobank Customer,
As an added security measure in view of the recent phishing attacks on banks, please be informed that you will be prompted by the system to change your metrobankdirect password upon your next login.
Thank you.
E-BANKING DIVISION
Phishing attack is usually done via email because it’s easy for the reader to click on a link and most don’t even bother looking at the URL or internet address they’re clicking. So the golden rule here is never click on a link from an email. If you received an email from say your bank and there appears a link to login to your account, don’t click that. Instead type the URL of your bank directly on your browser. For more information on this particular phishing attack, click here. Don’t know what phishing is? click here.

Dear sir/Madame,
Good Day! I would like to request an inverse payment transfer of the amount of P6,200 dated March 01, 2008, (atm machine of Allied bank Carcar
Cebu), from my own Citibank Credit card Portia M. Manugas #4539-712-5299-2008. For i have made a mistake, supossedly i will get the Citibank credit card of my aunt, named Matea M. Cano #4034-1808-2561-3005, but i accidentally get my own Citibank credit card and encode my number, for the electronic payment transfer. It was a big mistake that i made. And now i want to ask you a favor to transfer the said amount to the Citibank Credit Card number 4034-1808-2561-3005, named Matea M. Cano. Pls do grant my request because the money is intended for the payment of my aunt’s credit card.
Thank You so much! and God bless you, and the Company!
REspectfully Yours,
Portia M. Manugas
