Wells Fargo Bank System Phishing Scam

Just received this nasty phishing scam from your “friendly” bottom feeders. It had an attachment describing how the thief wants you to forward your personal information. This is nothing more than a phishing expedition and should be avoided like
the H1N1 swine flue.
