here's the fraudulent citibank link....

"Click here to access our Terms & Conditions page and not allow your Citibank checking account suspension."

211.155.234.84@foo.com

In a classic case of redirection scamming, however, the page the user is taken to after clicking the link does not reside on the real Citibank site; it's a phony page camouflaged to look like a real Citibank page and hosted on the web site of Nanhua Futures Trading Co. of Zhejiang, China. (Since the redirection URL is an IP address rather than a domain name, the ruse isn't obvious.) The faux Citibank page records the visitor's e-mail address and asks him to enter the first four digits of his Citibank® Banking Card number and his full name, then hides the ruse by bouncing him back to the real Citibank's terms and conditions page.
